Tri-State Concerto Competition
Scarsdale, NY - New Canaan, CT - NJ
A showcase of talented young musicians aged 6-18 who are residents of NY, CT, or NJ may compete to perform their concerto with chamber ensemble for a small but live audience in the musician's state. The first and second rounds will be judged online and the third and final round will be judged in person, during the live performances in each state. All instruments and repertoire are accepted, but for longer concertos please limit yourself to one movement only.
