Welcome to American Protégé Music Competitions

American Protégé International Music Competitions are designed for young musicians, actors and singers on the path to a successful career. We invite all talented youth and professionals to demonstrate their potential during American Protégé 2019-2020 Season. The season’s program is in full progress offering a number of music competitions, including new ones, where the participants will have an opportunity to showcase their unique talents. 

For more than fourteen years, American Protégé is advancing careers of our participants and winners as well as promoting their talents. Our programs offer many benefits to participants and help to build their confidence, strengthen their performance skills, and, ultimately, realize their dreams. By being introduced to new audiences on stage in New York City, one of the world’s grandest performance venues, participants can expect to have a memorable experience.

For all instrumentalists, singers, and ensembles alike, American Protégé has offered an unprecedented opportunity to escalate the scope of their talents to new heights. We debuted the opportunity for talented artists to perform at the American Protégé Summer Gala Concerts at the world’s most illustrious music venues: the 2,800-seat Isaac Stern Auditorium / Perelman Stage at Carnegie Hall and 600-seat Zankel Hall at Carnegie Hall.

Past season, the American Protégé International Music Competitions were a great success with a total of 36 Winners Concerts at Carnegie Hall’s Weill Recital Hall, Isaac Stern Auditorium and Zankel Hall. We continue to grow and attracted the largest number of very competitive applicants on record.

We would also like to thank the music teachers whose dedication has been indispensable in creating a strong and solid music foundation for the young artists. Finally, we thank all the parents for their support in organizing these exciting events and for giving their children an opportunity to get in touch with the amazing world of classical music.
