POTSDAM - The Orchestra of Northern New York is accepting applications for the James and Katherine Andrews 10th Annual Young Artist Instrumental Competition that will take place Saturday, Feb. 13 at SUNY Potsdam.

The deadline to apply is Feb. 1.

High school students from Northern and Central New York are invited to participate. First place prize is $500 and the opportunity to perform with the orchestra at its March concert. Cash prizes are also awarded to second and third place winners.

The competition was established in 2007 to honor James and Katherine Andrews, who were supporters of various activities for young people, especially those involving music. The mission of the competition is to inspire young musicians to reach their highest level of artistry. It is one of the few competitions of its kind to offer both a cash prize and the opportunity to solo with a professional orchestra.
