Each year, MSO concerto competitions give young musicians from across the state the opportunity to rise above and really shine. The winners of the MSO's young artist competitions then have the chance to play with a professional orchestra before a full audience of their peers in the awe inspiring atmosphere of Overture Hall!
Designed for students aged 8-14, the Fall Youth Concerto Competition helps young artists gain the poise and confidence needed to further their aspirations. The winners play before their peers at the
Fall Youth Concerts. Learn more at left.
