This audition is open to candidates in instruments, voice, or chamber music who hold, in France, a Diplôme National Supérieur Professionnel de Musicien (DNSPM), or abroad, an equivalent first-cycle diploma.

If successful, final admission will only be confirmed upon presentation of the full diploma, no later than September 30 of their first academic year. Otherwise, the group loses its admission.
