Young Artist Concerto Competition — The Concord Orchestra
The Concord Orchestra will once again be holding its annual Young Artist Competition. The competition is for High School students or younger, who may audition for the Ehler's Memorial Prize and an opportunity to perform a concerto with the Concord Orchestra. A runner up, or two, up may be selected to perform a pre-concert recital before one of our weekend performances. All performances will be for the concerts held on May 31, and June 1, 2025.. This is an exciting time to be working with the Concord Orchestra in their second season under the direction of Music Director, Zeke Fetrow. The season's rehearsals have started off at a high level, so please encourage students to join us for a wonderful journey through this concerto competition!
Auditions will be held February 5 & 6, 2025. Please forward this information to all teaching faculty so they can pass on this information to interested students.
