How to apply
The application deadline for CRMSS Atlantic 2025 is Thursday, May 1st 2025.
Applications are open and you're welcome to apply now, even though the deadline is in the future. If you apply in advance, we will contact you now and help you through the process, even long before the application deadline. We won't make our final decisions about who will attend CRMSS Atlantic 2025 until early May 2025, but we will keep in touch in the meantime.
Click on the "CRMSS Atlantic 2025 Application Form" button above and our online application form will open in a new browser tab. You can then give us all the information we need and submit your application, all online.
If you have attended any CRMSS course in the past, please use the application form above. There'll be an option for you to say that you've attended a course in the past and, as we already know a bit about you, the form will then proceed not ask you some of the questions.
Supporting Material
If you have attended a CRMSS course before, you do not need to submit supporting material with your application.
For singers new to CRMSS, who are submitting supporting material, we need:
- two recordings of you singing
- two letters of reference
The recordings do not need to be professionally made and don't require accompaniment. You may submit video or audio files, and there is an option to give us a link to material that may already be online. You can also upload material you make anywhere online and share it with us.
You can submit small media files directly to us (smaller than 50Mb) through our upload page by using the 'Upload supporting material' button above. For bigger files, please get in touch with us directly.
If you already have a recording of yourself that you like please do submit that. You don't need to make a new recording just for this application.
The two letters of reference should come from a conductor, singing teacher, or other musician in your life who knows you and who can give us an idea of your ability and experience. They should contain information about your sight-reading ability and your familiarity and experience with performing Renaissance music, and making ensemble music more generally. Your referees can submit their letters of reference to us directly or they can give them to you and you can send them to us.
The "Upload supporting material" button above takes you to our CRMSS Supporting Material upload page, where you can directly upload your recordings and letters of reference. Your referees (teachers, conductors, etc) may upload supporting material themselves, on your behalf, using this same page (crmss.org/upload). They can also email us directly by using info@crmss.org, either attaching material to an email or writing a letter of reference in the body of an email.

Participants at all our CRMSS courses are welcome to keep the scores they use, many of which will be newly edited specifically for each course.
Deposit
We ask successful applicants to secure their place on a course by providing a deposit, a portion of the entire course fee. This will be counted against the total course fee, the remainder of which will be due later.
The deposit of $100 is due as soon as you receive confirmation from us that your application as a singer has been successful. We aim to send out our acceptance letters a few weeks after the course's application deadline, Thursday, May 1st 2024. The remainder of the fee is due a few weeks before the course begins and the precise date will be given to you by email.
Once fees are paid, CRMSS reserves the right to limit any refund, taking into account the individual circumstances of a participant's cancellation.
