Young Artists Auditions

 

Young Artists Auditions - The DSO encourages serious study and musical excellence among young musicians through its annual Young Artists Auditions. Each entrant will be evaluated by experienced judges and will receive written comments and suggestions based on their individual performances.  

 

The First Place Winner will appear as a soloist at our March subscription concert (March 21 at 7:30 pm) and receives a cash prize of $500. Second Place Winner receives a cash prize of $300.

 

Audition date TBD; our original date of Saturday, February 1 conflicts with the Illinois Music Education Conference in Peoria. We are working on rescheduling the audition date and will post updated information as soon as everything is confirmed. Only twenty-five audition slots are available, which will be determined by postmark date. Applications must be postmarked by Friday, January 10, 2020.
