“Young Concert Artists’ track record for spotting the best new talent in classical music is legendary.” –The New York Times
“Young Concert Artists has acquired a special status in the musical world, and deservedly so. Its auditions and concerts have brought to public attention a steady stream of remarkable musicians. It is extremely doubtful that any organization anywhere could have matched the YCA record for spotting great talent and helping it along.” –The New York Times
Young Concert Artists, Inc. was founded in 1961 as a nonprofit organization to discover and launch the careers of extraordinary young musicians. Many of today’s greatest performers started their careers with Young Concert Artists, including Dawn Upshaw, Emanuel Ax, Richard Goode, Eugenia Zukerman, Christopher O’Riley, Jean-Yves Thibaudet, Chee-Yun, the St. Lawrence String Quartet and the Borromeo String Quartet. The Colonial is now in its second year of partnering with Young Concert Artists to bring you today’s up-and-coming classical artists.
“Hakhnazaryan gave an eloquent and fearless performance. A young Piatigorsky would have been proud.” – San Francisco Classical Voice
