Concerto-Aria Competition Final Round

University of Puget Sound music students present their very best solo performances as they compete in this public final round of the annual School of Music Concerto-Aria Competition, hosted by Alistair MacRae, artist in residence and director of chamber music.

The Concerto-Aria Competition has been an honored tradition in the School of Music since 1981. Students participate each year in this highly competitive program that highlights their work as musical soloists.

Finalists in this celebratory public Final Round concert perform before an audience and a panel of guest judges. Winners are offered opportunities to perform as soloists with the School of Music’s Symphony Orchestra or Wind Ensemble. Prior years’ winners have also gone on to win regional and national music competitions; and perform with professional ensembles and opera companies.
