The University of Missouri-St. Louis Department of Music is proud to offer an annual Young Artist Competition for its undergraduate music majors. The competition also includes a High School Division open to high school instrumentalists and vocalists from neighboring states*. Nationally recognized musicians and professors are invited to judge the final round of the competition, which takes place in the Lee Theater of the Touhill Performing Arts Center on the Friday before Thanksgiving. The winner of each division appears as soloist with the UMSL Orchestra or Wind Ensemble the following spring.
Information regarding auditions for the Concerto Competition can be found by clicking "Collegiate Division" or "High School Division" on the left of your screen.
