ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

• Contestants will be required to perform one movement of a standard concerto or short piece for their instrument and orchestra. The selection should be no longer than ten minutes in duration and must be a piece that has an orchestra accompaniment (no solo piano sonatas, for example). Contestants must also provide their own accompanists.

• All previous contestants are strongly encouraged to participate. Winners of the previous year’s competition are ineligible.

• The competition will be divided into two categories: grades K-8 and grades 9-12.

• Contestants must provide their own accompanists at the audition.

• The LPO will not pay to rent orchestral accompaniments for concerto winners. If orchestral parts must be rented to perform your piece, the applicant is responsible for paying the fee. Rental fees can cost several hundred dollars or more, depending on the piece and the number of performances. If you are unsure whether your proposed concerto has orchestra parts available for sale, email library@lpomusic.com to inquire.

• A committee of musicians from the LPO will select the winners.
