concerto competition
congratulations
We will feature our 2009-2010 winner, Tonya Buettner, on violin at our concert on April 25th!
general information
The Pikes Peak Philharmonic hosts an annual competition for instrumental performers in the Pikes Peak area. This competition is open for students of any age through high school. The winner will perform a solo in late April or early May with the Pikes Peak Philharmonic.
The performer must have the work memorized by the spring performance. Although memorization is not required by the date of competition, it is very helpful to the judging committee in determining performer competence. It is our desire to encourage the best musicians of our area to develop and refine their abilities in their instruments' repertoire. The Pikes Peak Phil focuses on developing musicianship and music appreciation among young people and strategically collaborates in the communities to that end. We encourage our young musician neighbors to consider registering below and begin preparing for this unique opportunity.
