The Holland Symphony Orchestra is invited all talented young musicians (grades 9-12) from West Michigan to compete for three top prizes!

The 10-minute recitals feature a range of different orchestral instruments in works by Haydn, Bruch, Mendelssohn, Elgar, Richard Strauss, and more. The winners will be chosen by a panel of anonymous, hand-picked HSO member musicians and announced at the conclusion of the concert. For the detailed list of programs and performers, click here.
