The Timpanogos Symphony’s Aspiring Musician Competition has been an important part of our educational program for many years. We continue to provide the opportunity for aspiring musicians to compete and perform as part of their education.
Please find the repertoire list below. Any of these works are approved for competition and performance. If you have a work that is not on the list but you think qualifies, you may submit a request to compete with another work by sending an email to education@thetso.org. Please submit the request for an alternate work before submitting your registration.
