School of Music students vie for the opportunity to perform as a soloist with the UMD Symphony Orchestra in the final round of this annual competition.   

Finalists perform 15- to 20-minute excerpts of a concerto or concert piece for an independent jury panel. Following the jury’s deliberation, a winner, runner-up and second runner-up will be announced.

The prizes for the 2017 UMSO Concerto Competition are graciously donated by The Board of Visitors of the University of Maryland School of Music.
