The Musicians Club of New York consistently identifies and presents some of the very best up and coming artists. By cycling annually through strings, piano, winds/brass, voice, and occasionally other categories, the Club is able to identify a wide range of exceptional artists.

A rigid application process requires either a letter of recommendation or a major competition prize, or, in the case of vocal, an audition recording. Every participant is respected from the beginning as a colleague by the Musicians Club of New York.

In addition to a cash prize, each of the three prize winners receives performance opportunities on the Musicians Club of New York’s Concert Series.
