2012 Young Artists Music Competition:

Round 2 – Live

Finalist’s registration form together with $50 entry fee must be postmarked by November 15, 2011. If a finalist withdraws, alternates will be contacted in order of their ranking to compete.
The live competition will be held January 7, 2012, at the Arvada Center, Arvada, Colorado.
Finalists may play a different piece from the one submitted in Round 1. See Rule 3 on the Rules page. (Contact us if you are in doubt— iyac@jeffsymphony.org.)
Finalists MUST perform with an accompanist and must provide a complete score for the judges. An excellent accompanist can greatly assist the cause of a soloist, while one with a lower degree of skills and/or preparation can detract from even a superior performance. While we maintain a list of recommended local pianists whom you may use if you wish, we strongly urge you to bring your own.
Three judges (not otherwise affiliated with the Jefferson Symphony and differing from those judging the first round) will select the First, Second and Third Place winners. Judges’ decisions are final.
Finalists will receive judges’ written comments.
Winners will be announced immediately following the completion of the live competition.
The first three award winners and their accompanists will present a public recital on the evening of the competition, January 7, 2012. The first-place winner's cash award will be presented at the Jefferson Symphony Spring Concert, March 25, 2012. Checks will be mailed to the 2nd- and 3rd-place winners shortly thereafter.
