2025 UFA Sonata Competition Results
This season, we will be adding a sight-reading component to the Sonata Competition. It is an optional event that comes with each level, and the sight-reading winner of each level will receive an additional certificate. There will not be an additional cash prize for this component, but it will be a great opportunity to sight-read under pressure and receive feedback. To opt in, simply select “Yes” under the sighting-reading question when you register. Good luck!

The Utah Flute Association Sonata Competition and High School Scholarship Competition is largely funded through the donation of an anonymous donor. This competition would not be possible without their ongoing generosity. Our donor has graciously supported the rising generation of Utah flutists and the Utah Flute Association for almost 10 years, and we cannot thank them enough.
