Now in its 30th year, the orchestra’s prestigious Young Artist Competition attracts talented musicians from across the United States, all vying for awards, cash prizes, and the chance to perform with the Delta Symphony Orchestra.

Grand Prize Winners perform with the Delta Symphony Orchestra on the Spring concert. Winners from past competitions have pursued successful careers in performance and music education in the United States and Europe.
