Young Artist Competition

On April 14, 2024, Eugene Symphony welcomed talented young musicians from across Oregon to perform and compete for prizes at the 2024 Eugene Symphony Guild Legacy Young Artist Competition, before a panel of Eugene Symphony judges at the University of Oregon. Seven prizes were awarded in the Senior and Junior Divisions, detailed below. The judging panel was comprised of Tim Cogswell, percussion; Kristen Halay, principal flute; Rodrigo Gonzalez Jacob, conducting fellow; and Sofie Yang, violin.
