Tri-County Concerts Association Annual Youth Festival

A very important part of Tri-County's program is its Annual Youth Festival, established in 1943. Tri-County Concerts Association organizes one of the area's most prestigious competitions for aspiring young musicians living in Chester, Delaware, and Montgomery Counties in Southeastern Pennsylvania. Auditions are open to high-school and middle-school students in a wide variety of instruments, including piano, strings, winds, voice, and ensembles, as well as harp, classical guitar, and percussion.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 the annual Tri-County Youth Festival Concert.
