​In collaboration with MMAMTA (Mid-Missouri Area Music Teachers Association), Odyssey leads the 5th annual pre-collegiate aria / concerto competition to provide an invaluable experience to the ambitious young musicians. Rather than requiring an entire concerto, we ask any one movement of the concerto memorized, so that the experience of both the preparation and achieving the highest quality is less stressful for these pre-collegiate students’ busy academic lives. The winner(s) of the Baroque/Classical category are given an opportunity of a lifetime: a performance with the Odyssey Chamber Ensemble in February.
