• The Master Classes will be livestreamed via Zoom. Recordings of the Master Classes may be made available for viewing by Lessonface and the MET Orchestra Musicians. Performers will be required to sign a publicity release, which can be viewed here. • There is no application fee, nor is there a fee for musicians selected to perform. Likewise, audience members will be able to view these Master Classes entirely free of charge. • Successful applicants who are invited to perform in the Master Classes may perform any public domain* work from the standard repertoire, and will be asked to notify Lessonface of the work to be performed one week in advance of their scheduled performance. • Up to three performers and three alternates will be selected for each Master Class.
