FFPA's Young Artist Competition

The Young Artist Competition is held annually in January and is sponsored by the Fredericksburg Festival for the Performing Arts. It is a competition for students of classical instruments and voice, providing them an opportunity to display their talent and be rewarded for it. The first place instrumental and vocal winners are each invited to perform with the Rappahannock POPS Orchestra and receive a cash prize of $500. The first, second and third place winners are invited to perform a pre-concert program before each of the three nights of our annual Chamber Music Festival in June.

Contestants must be 18 and younger and come from Fredericksburg and the surrounding counties of Stafford, Spotsylvania, King George, Caroline, Culpeper, Orange, and Westmoreland.
