Young Artist Showcase (previously Playing with the Pros) is an audition-based program that provides an opportunity for advanced music students to perform a solo with the Rochester Symphony.
Students work with their music instructor to prepare a recorded audition. Selected participants will receive coaching from the Rochester Symphony conductor and concertmaster in preparation for their performance.
The audition is open to advanced pre-college music students upon recommendation of their private teacher. Students will be selected based on strong technical skill and musicianship.
The Young Artists Showcase 2025/26 concert performance will take place on February 1, 2026
Applications and auditions due October 10, 2025.
