  • Stella Boyle Smith Music Competition

    ​The Young Artists Competition is our oldest project and is a concerto competition for area secondary school musicians, ages 12 to 18. The Competition unfolds in two phases – a preliminary round via video submissions, and a final round via live performance. Both components will be adjudicated by the same panel of judges selected from the Central Arkansas region. Winners receive state-wide recognition, a monetary award and perhaps the opportunity to play alongside the ASO.

    The competition is made possible by a grant from the Stella Boyle Smith Trust.
