KCMTA-HERITAGE PHILHARMONIC CONCERTO COMPETITION Dr. Maya Tuylieva, Chair [email protected] 620-687-3586 This event will not be held in 2024 due to a dissolved contract with the Heritage Philharmonic.

Students should be prepared to perform their selected movement in its entirety at the competition. However, depending on the number of entrants, student auditions may be cut. In this case, all competitors will be given the same audition time allotment. The competition is open to the public.
