2002 Applications will be accepted on a First-Come, First-served basis. Our process has been simplified.

Due to space limitations of the Caramoor stage, we must limit the total number of singing participants to 100. Conducting Fellows will be limited to 25. Qualified applicants will be chosen according to the date of their postmark, on-line application, or fax. All applicants will be notified of their status within a few days of receipt of their complete application.

A complete application must include: application form, vocal placement tape or Conducting Fellow audition tape (if applicable), rèsumè, and application fee ($25, non-refundable).

Former attendees of Keenefest need to send only the application form and fee.
