Join us for our 49th annual Giles Harris Music Competitions!

The Christopher Giles and Lucille S. Harris Competitions in Musical Performance began in 1977. The impetus came from 1967 alumnus Paul Sinal’s gratitude for his experience as an undergraduate at Wake Forest. The first “Competitions,” as they were originally called, have grown into a central event on the Department of Music's annual calendar and a beloved tradition.
