In recent days, we have received countless e-mails and messages, all concerning the possibility of extending the application deadline. You pointed out that for many years we held the auditions for our orchestral workshops later (which is true, we admit), so many of you did not realize that this year the application deadline was set much earlier. Others, in turn, pointed out that the deadline for applying to ILYO coincides with the high school-leaving examination.

Because we are an educational project, which from the very beginning of its existence has been open not only to all nationalities but also conceived to give the chance to participate in our orchestral workshops to as many young musicians as possible. For this reason, we decided to extend the application deadline for all instruments till May 15, 23:59 CET. Please note, that due to organizational reasons, this date cannot be changed again. Results wil be made public May 22.

We wish to thank those of you, who have already sent us their application. We highly appreciate that! For you, the extension of the application deadline means, that you can edit your recruitment form. If you'd like to record again any of the required pieces, you can do it. You can edit not only the video links but also attach a new CV or change your contact data. Just log in to your account on our website, click “My application” tab, edit the form and send it to us again. We will only take into consideration the recordings attached to your recruitment form that we will find there after the deadline.

We keep our fingers crossed for all of you.
