Young Artist Schol­ar­ship Competition

The Abi­lene Phil­har­monic is proud to present our bien­nial Young Artist Schol­ar­ship Com­pe­ti­tion.  This event was estab­lished by the Abi­lene Phil­har­monic in 2008 to help sup­port out­stand­ing young musi­cians in the Abi­lene area.  The com­pe­ti­tion is open to Wood­wind, Brass, Per­cus­sion, String, and Piano stu­dents between the ages of 12–18 that live in Texas School Regions 14 or 15.  Schol­ar­ship awards may be used to fur­ther the student’s musi­cal edu­ca­tion, includ­ing pri­vate music lessons, music camps, and uni­ver­sity tuition.
