These exceptional young musicians from all over the Southeast recently competed in person before an esteemed panel of judges for a position within one of three categories: Apprentice (ages 5-13), Artisan (ages 14-18) and Virtuoso (ages 19-23). In addition to the three winners, three additional young laureates were selected to perform as well.
One exceptional string player will be awarded a $500 scholarship sponsored by Atlanta Violins.
