The Experience

“I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to come to Colorado and play for the judges, audience and my peers. It is sometimes very hard as a young musician to find rewarding venues to play for. Here, the music is obviously treasured by the listeners and participants alike. Thank you for giving me this opportunity. I could not have hoped for a better weekend.”

– Finalist

“The finalists are all winners! It was a very exciting event to judge. It was revitalizing to be able to listen to such high quality performances, which reflect the musicians' dedication to their art. It made me want to go home and practice!”

Started in 1959, the Jefferson Symphony International Young Artists Music Competition celebrates the talent of outstanding young musicians. Held annually, this one-day music competition – originally a contest meant to give local students their first experience at public performance – has evolved into a gathering of international musicians competing for substantial cash awards and scholarships.

The next young artists music competition will be held in January of 2011. Piano competitions are held in odd-numbered years. Instrumental music competitions take place in even-numbered years. Information on the next music competition is posted annually in mid-spring.
