The Emory University Concerto and Aria Competition is an annual showcase of the brilliant talent found in the Department of Music.  It is open to undergraduate music majors (most of whom are double majors in Emory College) who prepare a ten-minute maximum, memorized movement of a major concerto for their instrument or aria for voice.  Students are judged on this evening’s performance only, with tone quality, intonation, rhythmic accuracy, articulation/diction, musicianship, style, memorization, and stage presence being the major factors under consideration.

"Competition" is friendly and supportive, and the winner is selected to perform with either the Emory Symphony Orchestra or Emory Wind Ensemble in the spring concert season. The winner(s) will be announced the day following the competition and posted on the Music Department website home page.
