The preselection auditions for the 2017 Stepping Stone will be held in front of a jury prior the National Audition in every region (13) visited by the Competition. A candidate that tries to participate in the Stepping Stone will now live an enhanced experience by going through a process similar to that of a professional audition, thereupon strengthening the CMC’s formative nature.
