Pomona College Orchestra Concerto Competition

Each October or November, the orchestra stages a competition to select student soloists, usually to play in the following Spring. Eligibility requirements are established by the music department and can vary slightly from year to year. In general, however, the competition is not restricted to Pomona students, but instead is open to any musician who participates in both Pomona’s ensembles and its private lessons program. Prospective soloists may enter with complete works or individual movements of longer works. The winners, one or two each year, are selected by a small panel of music department faculty.

Last year, Lucie McGee (Pomona ’07) emerged from a very strong field and performed Weber’s Clarinet Concerto #2 with the orchestra on its March 2007 concerts. This year, the available programming slot is on the March 2008 program, and the orchestra once again looks forward to collaborating with a brilliant student soloist.
