Six judges chose three winners from among 194 entries from all over the world. \u201cThe level of playing is astounding,\u201d says Music Director Orlando Cela. \u201cWe the judges had a very difficult time deciding who should receive which prize. Every contestant is a testament that classical music is alive and well, and its future secure.\u201d<\/p>\n

As part of LCO\u2019s mission to increase the cultural footprint of the city of Lowell, LCO runs two competitions – one for composers and one for performers – to bring the best world talent to Lowell, and help promote the careers of young talent. All LCO concerts are free to attend, bringing down the socio-economic barriers to access prime quality classical music concerts.<\/p>\n

On Saturday, April 26, 2025, audiences will have a chance to hear last year\u2019s young artist competition winner – violist Jeremy Kienbaum, who will be performing romances by Max Bruch and Adolphus Hailstork.<\/p>\n

Other works in the program include the beloved \u201cPulcinella\u201d by Igor Stravinsky, and the American premiere of \u201cTill Voices Wake Us,\u201d by Simon Andrews (winner of LCO\u2019s 2024 Call-for-Scores).<\/p>\n
