The Andrews University Symphony Orchestra is presenting its annual Young Artist Competition concert featuring this year Jonathan Clough, tenor, and Aiko Ayla, piano, as well as violinists Nikolaz Feliciano and Claire Yang. These talented students from the Department of Music of Andrews University will perform some of the most beautiful and challenging works of the repertoire. 

Join us on this unique evening of virtuosity and elegance, and enjoy the music of Clara Schumann, W. A. Mozart, Beethoven, Mendelssohn, Donizetti, and Tchaikovsky. 

We are happy to offer this concert to our community free of charge, but patrons will have the opportunity to support the students of the Symphony Orchestra as they are currently raising funds for their music tour to California this coming March.
