ODU instrumental and voice students are invited to compete to perform with the ODU Symphony Orchestra. Participants in the competition first perform in a Preliminary Round, one for each area of the F. Ludwig Diehn School of Music. Finalists are then invited to perform in the Young Artist Competition in November in a formal recital that is open to the public. One musician is chosen and featured as a soloist in a concert the following spring.
Composers are also invited to compete for performance consideration. They can submit original works for string orchestra or symphonic orchestra.
