OSR Guidelines

OSR performers are chosen by the ARMTA Calgary Recitals & Awards (ACRA) committee from the pool of ACRA applicants. Thus students must apply for the ACRA in order to be considered to play at the OSR. 

Up to 35 students may be invited to play at the Outstanding Student Recital and all the students will be presented with a certificate of accomplishment. The jury panel awards ten scholarships at the end of this recital. The jury panel is comprised of three teachers who do not have students performing in the OSR, and every effort is made to have jurors reflect the different music disciplines.

The criteria used to determine scholarship recipients at the OSR include:

stage comportment
memorization
interpretation and style
whether the performance conveys the intent of the composer
