Auditions — Application Process

Every Spring, Music Under New York (MUNY) presents a day of auditions in Grand Central Terminal to review and add new performers to the MUNY roster.  To join MUNY, musicians and performers must apply for the auditions and submit a package of information, which includes the MUNY Audition Application form (100KB PDF). To obtain an Audition Application form, which is available between January 1 and March 1, please contact MUNY at 212-878-4678 or print it from the MUNY website.  For consideration, please prepare a package with the completed Application Form, a sample of your performance on CD, tape or video/DVD and/or optional items such as a bio, resume, press clippings or reviews and mail it to: 

MTA MUSIC UNDER NEW YORK
341 Madison Avenue, 5th Fl.
New York, NY 10017

The Audition application packages are due in the MUNY office no later than March 15th.

All performers are welcome to apply for the audition.  Packages will be reviewed and approximately 70 eligible performers will be contacted and invited to perform at the auditions, which are held live, one-day only, and open to public.  A panel of professionals, consisting of representatives from the music industry, cultural institutions, MTA station operations, fellow musicians and others, will judge each of the five minute performances during the audition based on the criteria of quality, variety, and appropriateness for the mass transit environment.
