Bay State Concerto Competition
March 8th through 9th, 2008
Atlantic Symphony Orchestra is proud to announce its 3 rd Annual concerto competition for
young artists. In keeping with the ASO’s mission of serving the greater Boston community
by presenting orchestral music of the highest quality, the goal of the competition is to identify
and encourage gifted young artists and provide them with opportunities to advance their
careers in music. The competition is open to pianists and any orchestral instrumentalists
between the ages of 18 and 30 (on the day of the competition). The applicants must prepare
all movements of the selected concerto listed in the application; no repertoire changes will be
allowed after the submission of the application.
The competition is organized in three stages. In the first round, the competition committee
will review the applications. If you do not receive an invitation to the second round of the
competition, the applicant will receive a reimbursement of half of the application fee. During
the second round of the competition, the invited applicants will be asked to perform their
chosen repertoire without accompaniment in a closed blind audition setting in Boston,
Massachusetts. The third and final round of the competition will be held in front of a live
audience in Hingham, Massachusetts. Those who advance to this third round will be required
to provide their own pianist to accompany them.
While the judges deliberate, meet the competitors and celebrate the results at an awards party immediately following the competition.
The applicants may only apply for two consecutive years for the competition. The concert repertoire
and schedule for the winners will be at the sole discretion of Atlantic Symphony Orchestra.
Three prizes awarded are as follows:
|

1st Prize: |
$1,200 cash prize and a

2nd Prize:
