The 2012 Calgary Concerto Competition (C3)

This annual event was founded in 1981 by the Calgary Registered Music Teachers Association, the Calgary Piano Technicians Guild and the Calgary Civic Symphony. It is open to all piano and instrumental students under the age of 18 studying with a Calgary music teacher.

The competition is held at the end of February. Each participant is required to play from memory, the first movement of a concerto. Through the competition, the winners are selected by an impartial jury to perform with the Calgary Civic Symphony. The C3 Concerto concert showcases the talents of the winners of the competition.

As well as giving them invaluable experience of  rehearsing and performing with an orchestra, it prepares them for competition at the National and International levels where performing with anorchestra is mandatory.

Where will our young soloists perform next? Time will tell, perhaps New York, Vienna, London?
