On Sunday, March 12 at 2:30pm, the Hampton Roads Philharmonic will be bringing the Young Artists Competition Showcase to The American Theatre. The purpose of the competition is to give young musicians the valuable opportunity to perform as a soloist with an orchestra for a portion of its season and foster the talented musicians in the Hampton Roads region. Decided by an adjudicated competition, the winner will perform with the Hampton Roads Philharmonic as a featured soloist in this month’s annual Young Artist Competition Showcase performance. Participants were instrumentalists up to age 21. Here are the results for the 2022 Young Artists Competition:

“The Hampton Roads Philharmonic would like to announce the results of its 7th annual Young Artists Competition. Our judges, violinist Simon LaPointe, pianist Dr. Seung-hye Kim, and HRP Music Director Steven Brindle, awarded a Grand Prize, Second Place, Third Place, and two Honorable Mentions. No Encouragement Award was awarded this year as our Grand Prize winner was also our youngest soloist in the competition. All 12 participating soloists demonstrated a high level of preparation. In particular, awards were given to performers that, in addition to their technical preparation, were able to command a performance by playing with intention, emotion, and finesse.” Read more.
