SEVENTH BIENNIAL CAPRIO I & II YOUNG ARTISTS COMPETITION
For more information on the winners, with links to bios, go to the Caprio Winners 2010 page.
 The Seventh Biennial Caprio I Young Artists Competition was held on Sunday, March 14, 2010 at the First Presbyterian Church of Lambertville. The Caprio I 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 I 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 received $2000 and a performance with the
Riverside Symphonia. The second place winner received
$1000.
