Concerto and Aria Competition The Emory University Concerto and Aria Competition is an annual showcase of the brilliant talent found in the Emory University Department of Music. It is open to undergraduate music majors (most of whom are double majors in Emory College) who prepare a memorized movement of a major concerto for their instrument or aria for voice. Each performer may not exceed ten minutes. Students are judged on this evening’s performance only, with tone quality, intonation, rhythmic accuracy, articulation/diction, musicianship, style, memorization, and stage presence being the major factors under consideration. The “competition” is friendly and supportive, and the winner will perform with the Emory University Symphony Orchestra during the 2022–2023 centennial EUSO season. The winner is announced the day after the competition.

Music at Emory The Department of Music at Emory University provides an exciting and innovative environment for developing knowledge and skills as a performer, composer, and scholar. Led by a faculty of more than 60 nationally and internationally recognized artists and researchers, undergraduate and graduate students experience a rich diversity of performance and academic opportunities. Undergraduate students in the department earn a BA in music with a specialization in performance, composition, or research, many of whom simultaneously earn a second degree in another department. True to the spirit of Emory, a liberal arts college in the heart of a research university, the faculty and ensembles also welcome the participation of nonmajor students from across the Emory campus. Become a part of Music at Emory by giving to the Friends of Music. A gift provides crucial support to all of the activities. To learn more, visit music. emory.edu or call 404.727.1401.
