The tenth-annual Thomas and Evon Cooper International Competition begins Saturday, July 20.

Twenty-four young violinists, ages 13 through 18 and hailing from six countries and seven U.S. states, square off through six days of performances. 

These remarkable young artists compete over several rounds in Oberlin. The field narrows to three accomplished violinists who perform a complete concerto in the Finals with The Cleveland Orchestra at Severance Hall. One finalist will emerge as the 2019 Cooper champion—with a grand prize of $20,000.
