2008 Juanita Miller Concerto Competition

The Juanita Miller Concerto Competition was held at 3:30 p.m. on Saturday, January 12, 2008 in the Caruth Auditorium at SMU’s Owen Art Center. In 1997, Juanita and Henry S. Miller provided the initial underwriting and subsequent gifts to fund this youth competition, which now bears her name. It was their dedication, vision, and generosity and devotion to music that led to the establishment of this statewide youth competition for outstanding high school musicians. In this twelfth year of hosting the competition, Texas Association of Symphony Orchestras (TASO) continues to employ a professional approach for selecting the winners by choosing outstanding judges from across the country. 

Thanks go to Harriett Gibbs for chairing the event for the League.
