3 [Sun] Deadline: The MMAMTA/Odyssey Pre-Collegiate Aria and Concerto Competition. This year, due to COVID-19, we will identify THREE winners to perform with an orchestral accompaniment on the second piano to perform at the Odyssey's Baroque Concerto concert in February. Therefore, there is no restriction for the repertoire or genre. Winners will perform an aria or a movement of a concerto at Odyssey's Baroque concert on February 12, 2021 at the First Baptist Church in Columbia. Honorarium $300 and mileage for the concert is awarded to the three winners; it is the responsibility of the winners to provide an accompanist at the competition and the concert, who should be the same. Students studying in Missouri are eligible. Winners and their accompanist ideally should be available for a dress rehearsal on February 11 at 7pm, an evening concert on February 12, and snow date on February 14 for the 3pm concert. If another time needs to be arranged for the dress rehearsal, we will try. Concerto must be pre-approved by the director; contact Ayako Tsuruta at info@OdysseyMissouri.org.
