Performance Piece Information

Some helpful tips for your One Night Only video submissions

*Make sure you are fully visible and centered on the screen while recording your selected piece and that all particpants can clearly be seen while performing. This is just as important for solo musicians as it is for larger groups.

*Start your recording by identifying yourself and the name of the piece you will be performing.

*If you have an accompanist performing with you, please tell us who they are.

*Limit your video submission to no more than three minutes, with the understanding that the judges may only listen to a portion of that time. This is the time limit for the live performance as well.

* Select a piece that you know well and that you are comfortable performing, rather than a piece that you think will impress the judges.

* If the music for your piece is not public domain, has not been purchased from an approved source or does not qualify for copyright infringement protection under the "fair use" principle, there is a risk of liability for using the material. To avoid these risks, there are many "authorized" services on the Internet that allow consumers to purchase copyrighted works online.

*Smile, project, and be confident!

Need assistance in selecting, recording or submitting your entry? Contact Carnegie Hall, we can help! Call our business office at 304 645 7917 any weekday between 9-5, tell us you're with ONO, and ask for Ms. Kit or Ms. Harmony.
