Competitions Competitions sublinks: Young_ Artist | American_Composer

The Columbia Orchestra produces two music competitions, Young Artist and American Composer. For more information, click on the desired link below:

  • Young Artist Competition - This is an annual event that is open to all students of string, wind, and percussion instruments through 12th grade who currently reside, attend school, or receive music instruction in Howard County. The goal of the competition is to expose students to the competition process, provide constructive feedback on their performance and to give the competition winners a chance to publicly perform what they have practiced so diligently.

  • American Composer Competition - This is a biannual competition to foster the creation and performance of orchestral music by American composers. The composer must be a U.S. citizen or a ten-year resident of the United States. The work must be unpublished or self-published and have no more than two prior public performances .
