Emerging Artist applications for Longborough’s 2026 season are now open.
If you would like to apply for any of these opportunities, please submit your application by Sunday 31 August 2025.
As part of the form, you will be asked to provide a link to a short recording of yourself. Please upload it to a platform that we can access such as Google Drive, YouTube, Soundcloud or similar. This can be video, or audio only, and it doesn't need to be a professional recording - on a phone is fine. This is an opportunity to show off and show us what you can do. If accompanied, we do not need more than a couple of bars of piano introduction.
If you are successfully shortlisted for an audition, you will be contacted by a member of the LFO team in early September. Auditions will take place in London in early October 2026.
Thank you for applying!
