To apply, players will need a reference from a well-known, established artist. They will also need to supply a current resume, a statement, and a recorded audition comprising two major pieces of repertoire.

Approximately 25 players will be shortlisted for the program and will participate in the live auditions, which will take place in Kronberg on January 26 and 27, 2024. Applicants will be asked to play chamber repertoire with members of the Aris Quartet, and the jury will comprise Gary Hoffman, Raimund Trenkler, and Friedemann Eichhorn.

There is no cost for the selected players to attend the initiative since it is funded in full by the Crespo Foundation.
