Description

The Civic Music Association of Milwaukee High School Competition is a well-regarded Milwaukee competition for accomplished high school age musicians. Musicians compete for the opportunity to perform on the Showcase Recital and to be one of four classical musicians to receive the Young Artist Scholarships. The competition is open to high school vocal and instrumental students in grades 10-12 who live in eligible counties performing at or above WSMA Class A. While your piece must be at this level, it need not be on their actual list. Those who have received a Young Artist Scholarship in two consecutive years will be ineligible for a third scholarship. They remain eligible to participate and perform on the Showcase Recital if selected. During the audition, four to six minutes of performance time is required. Any six-minute portion of a longer piece may be chosen by cutting long introductions or accompaniment interludes. The timer will stop the performer at six minutes without penalty. Memorization is optional. Please visit the award's website for more information.
