The Vancouver Symphony Orchestra concluded its sixteenth
annual Young Artists Competition on Sunday, March 7 at The Vancouver School
of Arts and Academics.
Forty-four entries were submitted on CDs in January and were judged by a blue-ribbon panel of three local artists/instructors. Three finalists were picked in each of the three categories to perform at a live performance on March 7 in front of an audience that included five judges from the Portland/Vancouver area. The three first place winners received the top amount of $1,000 as a scholarship and performed with the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra at our May 29 and May 30, 2010 concerts.
