THE FINAL DETAILS WILL BE COMING SOON, SO GET READY!!

We are now alternating years for wind/percussion instruments vs. string instruments. This year’s competition is for woodwind, brass and percussion instrumentalists only.

Our juried competition takes place completely by video audition. We will request an audition video and a second very short “About Me” video as YouTube links.

Entry fee is $25. Only one entry is accepted per person. Requests for waiver due to financial hardship may be made to SCOPublicity@gmail.com.

We have two categories:
1. Youth (High School)
2. Adult (Post-High School to Age 25)

Your music does not need to be in the public domain, but it must have orchestral accompaniment available. SCO will cover the cost of the winners’ orchestral music accompaniment purchase/rental and copyright fees, if applicable. We hope this opens the door to more opportunity for all.

Winners will perform their piece with Scruffy City Orchestra oduring SCO’s fall Cathedral Concert Series performance at The Cathedral of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus in Knoxville, TN and will also receive a framed certificate. Winners must be available for the concert and a certain number of rehearsals or they will be disqualified.

As soon as the fall concert date has been finalized, we will open the competition.
