The Kennett Symphony of Chester County will hold a Junior Instrumental Competition for students in grades four through eight, including instruments normally found in an orchestra or band.
Three winners in the grades 4-6 category and three winners in the grades 7-8 category will be chosen, with awards in each category of $100, $50, and $25. Presentation of the prizes will be made at the Kennett Symphony’s Family Concert on March 8 at West Chester University’s Asplundh Hall.
The winning selections will be based on auditions scheduled for Saturday, Feb. 7, in the auditorium of Kendal at Longwood in Kennett Square. Each student will perform one intermediate (or higher) composition lasting no longer than five minutes. Memorization is encouraged, but not required.
All participants will receive feedback from the judges’ comments. This program is intended as a serious music student’s introduction to the competitive experience, with the opportunity to gain knowledge and familiarity with the format of competitions.
