Concerto Competition
The Southern Utah University Bands Concerto Competition was created to provide young musicians with a chance to showcase their talents to a broad audience. Each fall, finalists are selected from recorded auditions to perform live for a panel of judges. From this select group, a winner is chosen to perform with one of the SUU bands at their spring semester concert.
The contest is open to anyone currently enrolled in high school or college under the age of 25. For more information on entering the contest, see the submission requirements (below) or contact Dr. Mark Stickney, Director of Bands, at (435) 865-8160 or stickney@suu.edu.
