About First Chair Battle

What is First Chair Battle?

First Chair Battle is an exciting online competition platform where talented instrumentalists from around the world showcase their skills and battle for the coveted "First Chair" title.

Inspired by the orchestra tradition where the "first chair" is the principal player — the best in their section — we bring that competitive spirit to musicians everywhere.
