THE
CAPRIO YOUNG ARTISTS COMPETITION
The Caprio Young Artists Competition,
held every other year, honors the late John-Michael
Caprio, the founding conductor
of the Riverside Symphonia.
In addition to his work as conductor and music
director of St. Patrick’s Cathedral in New York,
Caprio was a former teacher who loved the mix of music
and young people, whether it was exposing young listeners
to classical music for the first time or working with
talented young performers already preparing for their
own musical careers.
The Riverside Symphonia Caprio Young
Artists Competition is open to all non-keyboard instrumentalists
who will
be no more than 22 years of age at the time of the
finals competition. All contestants must reside in
or study in New Jersey or Pennsylvania. The first place
winner will receive $2000 and a performance with the
Riverside Symphonia. The second place winner will receive
$1000.
