Selections should be no longer than approximately 10 minutes in length. If you are interested in playing more than one movement of the same concerto, please record the movements you hope to perform. You are highly encouraged to confirm the feasibility of your repertoire in advance by sending an email to Dr. Lenberg at [email protected] Prizes Competition winners will be invited to rehearse and perform their selected piece or movement(s) with the Ukiah Symphony Orchestra before a live concert audience at the Mendocino College Center Theater on Saturday and/or Sunday, May 17-18, 2025.
