This year, 43 students entered the concerto competition at Interlochen Arts Academy. A team of Interlochen Arts Academy faculty members narrowed the 43 initial entries to ten finalists, and the four winners were then selected by a judging panel made up of professional musicians.
Friday evening at 8 p.m., Classical IPR presents performances by the student concerto competition winners. There will be concertos for violin, piano, bass trombone, and bassoon, performed by student soloists who are from North America, South America, and Asia. Each piece also features the Interlochen Arts Academy Orchestra, conducted by Ara Sarkissian.
