Each semifinalist will be featured during the week at 7 pm starting May 17, when their adjudicated performances will be streamed.

At 7 pm Saturday, the three medalists will be announced and full concerto performances by two of the top prizewinners will round out the competition.
Yankee learned a lot about putting a music competition online in 2020. One of her 2021 edjustments was to provide a stipend for a professional recording to each finalist. She s excited to expand the competition to a full week. Concerts are pay-what-you-can, and can be viewed for 23 hours after the 7 pm start times.
