2026 Competition is over 60% full as of Oct 24
This competition is presented by the Calgary Civic Symphony, the parent organization of the Rotary Calgary Concerto Competition. The Calgary Civic Symphony generously dedicates one concert each season to featuring the winners of our competition. The Symphony extends the same aspects of preparation and performance to these young artists that are granted to all of Civic's guest performers.
The Calgary Civic Symphony also provides access to staff, the majority of the volunteer workforce needed to run the competition, and funding assurance.
The Calgary Civic Symphony has been a proud part of Calgary’s arts and culture community for nearly 50 years!
