2024 Young Artist Competition
Each spring the California Youth Symphony holds its Young Artist Competition to select soloists for the following season. The Competition is open to pianists and instrumental soloists under age 19. Two young artists will be chosen by a panel of three judges to perform with the CYS Orchestra during the November or March concert series of the 2024-25 season. A monetary award will also be presented to the winners.
Applications open in April.
Congratulations to our 2023-24 season prize winners!
We are looking forward to more extraordinary performances this year!
