• The competition is open to high school students in grades 9-11 who play an orchestral instrument, including piano.
• The student must select and record a fast movement of a concerto from the standard orchestral repertoire.
• Application deadline is March 1, 2013.
• Deadline for submitting audition recordings (mailed CD, Emailed .mp3 or linked .mp3) is March 15, 2013.

• The winning soloist will be expected to attend rehearsals on Monday evenings in late October/ early November in preparation for the concert.

PLEASE NOTE: We do not expect auditions to be perfect. We will be assessing your overall abilities and are not looking for a polished performance. If you are selected as the winner of the competition this Spring, you will not be performing until November.
