Richmond Symphony League’s 55th Annual Student Concerto Competition
Sponsored by the Elinor and Frank Kuhn Concerto Competition Fund

 

Since 1969, the Richmond Symphony League has hosted this student concerto competition to encourage and recognize young musicians from Virginia. The first-prize winner will receive a cash award and be considered for an invitation to perform with the Richmond Symphony during the 2024–25 season. The competition is open to classically-trained instrumental music students from Virginia who have not graduated from high school who play woodwind, brass, string, piano, and percussion instruments.

Thank you to all the wonderful students that competed in our 2025 Concerto Competition.  We had a very busy day with each student performing and the judges completing their reviews.  Many thanks to the RSL Volunteers and Judges that assisted with all of the work efforts surrounding a successful Competition.  Thanks, also, to Anna Mitchell with the Richmond Symphony for working with RSL to get the students registered and approve their repertoire.

Our 2025 winners:
Elaine Zhang - Cello - 1st Place
Leah Sze Yuen Pang - Violin - 2nd Place
Ethan Chen - Piano - 3rd Place

Honorable Mention:

Richmond Symphony League thanks all of the Guests

that toured the Taylor Estate, our 19th Designer House! 


Taylor Estate, breathing new life and design into a 107-year-old house Located at 2325 Monument Avenue in Richmond, Va. This gorgeous house was designed by the renowned architect, Duncan Lee in an Italian Renaissance Revival style. Originally built in 1915 and owned by Jaquelin Plummer Taylor, the Taylor Estate boasts a garden designed by the prominent landscape architect, Charles Freeman Gillette. The house is in the Monument Avenue Historic District, and this was the first opportunity for the public to tour the home. The beautiful proportions and details of this exquisite home provided a lot fascination and inspiration!

The Taylor Estate was open to the public on September 11, 2023, through October 9, 2023. Richmond Symphony League raised over $420,000 net during this fundraising effort. To date, we have been able to donated over $350,000 to the Richmond Symphony!

We are hoping to be able to showcase our 20th House in 2025 - be sure to check back often for information regarding our next project! Please contact us at designerhouse@richmondsymphonyleague.org, if you would like additional information.
