2027 Stars of Tomorrow Competition Update

The Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra has paused the Stars of Tomorrow competition for the 2026–27 season. The competition will not take place in 2027 due to a lack of dedicated funding.

No permanent decision has been made about the competition’s future.

For nearly 60 years, Stars of Tomorrow has given talented young musicians the opportunity to perform with the MSO. We recognize the disappointment this pause brings to students, families, and educators, and we are grateful to everyone who has supported the program.

With questions, please contact the MSO Education Department at edu@mso.org.
