To foster musical talent in our community and give young musicians the valuable opportunity to perform as a soloist with an orchestra, the Hampton Roads Philharmonic is delighted to continue its annual Young Artist Competition. Decided by an adjudicated competition, the winner will perform with the Hampton Roads Philharmonic as a guest soloist.  Soloists are asked to prepare a movement of a concerto or suitable concert piece to perform.  Full rules and details are available online.
