Tri-County Concerts Association Annual Youth Festival

The Tri-County Concerts Association's Annual Youth Festival has been a stepping stone to achievement for the thousands of young musicians who have participated since the competition's inception in 1943. The festival offers talented students an opportunity to audition before and receive critiques from professional judges. The winners receive scholarships for their musical training and the opportunity to perform before a discriminating audience at our 67th Annual Festival Concert, held this year on May 30, 2009, at 7 p.m., at Montgomery County Community College in Blue Bell, PA.
