2022 ITG Conference Competitions Finalists
The International Trumpet Guild is pleased to announce the finalists of six divisions of the Ryan Anthony Memorial Trumpet Competition. Each year ITG hosts seven divisions of competition as part of its annual conference, and recently these competitions were renamed the "Ryan Anthony Memorial Trumpet Competition," in honor of the many artistic and humanitarian contributions of Ryan Anthony.
The students listed below were selected through a competitive, international prescreening process that included preliminary round recordings submitted through the ITG website. Students who wish to be future competitors are encouraged to view the ITG competitions website for information about opportunities in the Ryan Anthony Memorial Trumpet Competition.
The final round of each of these competitions will be held as part of the 2022 ITG Conference, May 31 - June 4, 2022. For more information, or to register, please visit https://www.itgconference.org/
Winners of 2022 ITG conference scholarships are being finalized, and an announcement will be forthcoming soon in a separate website posting.
The ITG Competitions Coordinator thanks all of the Division Chairs and Preliminary Round Judges for their excellent work in the completion of the Preliminary Round.
