Goldwasser Young Artist Concerto Competition FINAL COMPETITION
FEBRUARY 28, 2016
The Selection Process
Interested students must submit an application and recording, received by the MSO by December 14th, 2015. Note that we much prefer an audio recording for the audition CD.

Sound quality on an audio CD recording is generally superior and offers a better presentation of skill.
Please download the Application for the Goldwasser Concerto Competition:
