The contestants will be evaluated on their level of performance, stage presence and musicality by a juried panel consisting of internationally renowned musicians, performers and teachers. The Concert Festival offers performance opportunities through their Concerto Competition, Composer's Showcase, and Masterclasses. The program is international and open to young musicians between the ages of 5 and 25. Pianists, instrumentalists, vocalists and chamber ensembles are welcome to apply.
