WDAV's Young Chamber Musicians Competition

Overview

89.9 WDAV Classical Public Radio presents four of the nation's most talented young chamber ensembles for the fifth annual Young Chamber Musicians Competition, powered by OrthoCarolina. Chamber groups compete for a chance to win their share of a cash prize, a studio recording session, and paid performance in the 2018-19 Davidson College Concert Series. This 90 minute concert is produced as a live radio broadcast and video stream.  Audiences in the performance hall join in the excitement by deciding the winner of the $2,000 People’s Choice Award. Following the concert, those who have purchased a "Concert + Reception" or "Reception only" ticket are invited to join WDAV for a champagne and dessert reception celebrating WDAV’s 40th Anniversary as well as the 5th Anniversary of the Young Chamber Musicians Competition. Immediately after the conclusion of the competition, guests travel upstairs to the 900 Room, where they’ll be met with champagne, hors d'oeuvres, and music from celebrated pianist Ethan Uslan. Guests will have the opportunity to meet the student performers, our panel of accomplished jurors, and a number of WDAV on-air hosts.
