The YOUNG TEXAS ARTISTS Music Competition was created in 1983 by the Montgomery County Performing Arts Society in an effort to encourage excellence in young musicians and to further artistic growth throughout the state of Texas. In 1999, Entergy Texas graciously offered its support enabling the competition to evolve into the rich experience it is today. Our judges are distinguished artists who have achieved acclaim in their respective disciplines. Our candidates are generally pursuing a career in classical music, and are either established residents of Texas or enrolled in Texas music schools.

 

The evening performance and final round of the competition is a featured event of the Montgomery County Performing Arts Society regular season. MCPAS especially delights in bringing this fresh and exciting musical experience to the people of the greater Conroe area and has presented such artists as the Houston Symphony, The Vienna Boys Choir, Sesame Street, Judy Collins, Ray Price, The Joffrey Ballet, Michael Martin Murphy, B. J. Thomas, Marvin Hamlisch, Debbie Reynolds and many others.


The 2008 competition will take place in Montgomery County (just north of Houston) March 13-15 at the historic Crighton Theatre. Beautifully restored to 1930s vaudeville elegance, it is noted for its period ambiance and excellent acoustics.
