Houston, Texas – January 13, 2024—Symphony North of Houston announced the finalist participants for its 2023-2034 Young Artist Competition
For the past 26 years among community orchestras, Symphony North has been the foremost innovator and thought leader in providing an avenue for young artist to display their amazing talents by performing a classical concerto movement with an orchestra. This year Symphony North is elevating the concept of its Young Artist Competition by potentially awarding first place category awards rather than overall first and second place awards. The categories this year include Violin, Cello, Piano, and Wind.

The first stage of this process has been completed in that Symphony North has finalized the judging of all the competition submissions and has selected artist to perform at its finalist audition on January 27, 2024. Each young artist will be competing for first place in their respective category.
