Piano accompaniment in concertos is mandatory.
The application must indicate whether the applicant requests the piano accompaniment to be provided by the Slovak State Philharmonic Košice or if they will arrange their own accompanist.
In case the applicant requests an accompanist from the Slovak State Philharmonic Košice, they should also send information about the selected concertos along with their application (or provide, upon request, a scan/copy of the piano parts).
