Since 1965 the Philharmonic Society of Arlington has sponsored an annual competition for young musicians, both instrumental and vocal. Our purposes are to identify, encourage and provide exposure to promising talents, to provide them with audition experience, and to provide the winner with performance experience with our orchestra and/or chorale.
Three overall prizes are awarded and funded through the kind generosity of the estate of Peter Tannenwald, a long-time member of the Arlington Philharmonic Orchestra and one of the Society's greatest proponents of the Young Artist Competition.
$1000 Peter Tannenwald Performance Award, which includes a performance with the Philharmonic the following concert season
$650 second prize
$350 third prize.
Additionally, three Leonard D. Wood Prizes are awarded to the best performers eighteen years of age or younger. The Wood Prizes are provided by the family of Leonard D. Wood, the first conductor of the Community Symphony Orchestra of Arlington, later to be known as the Arlington Philharmonic Orchestra.
$500 Leonard D. Wood Prize which may, at the discretion of the Society's musical directors, include an invitation to perform with the orchestra or chorus
$350 second prize
$150 third prize
