This season, the Youth Artist Competitions will have a recorded preliminary-round, due February 9th, 2025. The final round for all three competitions will be conducted at the Spring Festival on April 13th, 2025.
Time limits exclude any time between pieces or movements. The program should include pieces in a variety of diverse styles and periods.
This may include single movements of works, sonatas, and unaccompanied pieces. It is not necessary to perform all movements of a single work. An individual movement of a work needs to be performed in its entirety, but cuts may be made in the accompaniment and repeats may be deleted.
Accompanied pieces must be performed with the accompaniment.
