Vandoren Announces 2014 Emerging Artist Competition Winners Vandoren has announced the winners of the fourth annual Emerging Artist Competition. The Vandoren Emerging Artist Competition (or VEA) is for clarinetists and saxophonists between the ages of 18 and 23 performing at the very highest technical and musical level.

"Given Vandoren's commitment to the environment, this seemed like an obvious transition," commented Vandoren Brand Manager Andy Blanco. "All submissions were processed online, eliminating the need for mailing, CD burning, and all that extra paper – waste we're happy to avoid." The first place winners in each category will perform in Chicago on the Emerging Artist Concert at Roosevelt University's Ganz Hall on March 16, 2014 at 2:00 pm. They will also travel to Paris, which will include a visit to Vandoren headquarters at 56 Rue Lepic to meet with some of the most influential woodwind designers and consultants in the world.
