- Judge's Quote: The Jefferson Symphony International Young Artists Competition always brings out some of the finest talent in the entire country. It's a great pleasure to serve as a finals judge and hear the amazing ability that is displayed by so many young musicians. It is always very difficult to choose the three winners because the overall level of performance is simply terrific.

Started in 1959, the Jefferson Symphony International Young Artists Competition celebrates the talent of outstanding young musicians. Held annually, this one-day competition – originally a contest meant to give local students their first experience at public performance – has evolved into a gathering of international musicians competing for substantial cash awards.
Piano competitions are held in odd-numbered years. Instrumental competitions take place in even-numbered years.
