Concerto Competition 2024
​This year, we're excited to announce the addition of a new Concerto Competition that will be held in semester 1!
​​
Instrumentalists will be given the chance to perform a solo for a panel of both student and professional judges in an initial video round and those who make it through to the final round will have an opportunity to play for a live audience.
Prizes will be awarded to the top performers with a 1st place prize of £75, 2nd place prize of £50 and 3rd place prize of £25.
In addition, one musician (not necessarily the highest-scoring performer) will be invited to perform a concerto with our Symphony Orchestra in semester 2!
​
​

Video submissions are expected to be unaccompanied, but may be accompanied if desired (this will not affect the judging of the submission)
