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.

This season, it will be required to have one's music memorized at the time of the audition. 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. Appointments for this year's auditions can be made by contacting Norah at 719-432-9769.
