Annual Concerto Competition Concerts Premiere April 27 and 28

Seven of Hugh Hodgson School of Music’s most talented students perform solos in Hodgson Hall as part of the annual Concerto Competition, which is a longstanding tradition of the Hodgson School. Music students from all areas may compete. Students must learn a concerto, then perform it for a faculty judges panel.
