Dear Contestants, Parents, Teachers, and Friends:
The Concert Video links from the final weekend of USOMC 2026 are now available to view and/or download. I hope you will enjoy watching and sharing these wonderful performances. Please also take time to watch and listen to other performers. Listening is a critical part of musical development. You might find interesting pieces you want to play in the future, or you might even hear a new way to play a piece you already know.
Thank you for your participation in our competition. We know that it takes a lot of hard work by the contestants, as well as great effort on behalf of families and teachers. We are grateful for your support of us and for your support of your children. They are so talented and so lucky to be involved in the world of music!
Thank you again. I look forward to seeing you next year at USOMC 2027.
Lamae Loo
President USOMC
