Each summer, ten exceptional young musicians participate in the Manchester Music Festival Young Artists Program. This immersive curriculum is a full-scholarship five-week professional training program for string players and pianists, ages 18 – 26. The primary focus of the Young Artists Program is to intensively study and perform chamber music at a high level and to provide a select group of students the rare opportunity to work directly with internationally acclaimed guest artists. Young Artists perform with their mentors in MMF concerts on the mainstage and in dedicated Young Artists Concerts. This year’s program features two concerts of the chamber repertoire on July 20 and August 3; and a special concerto program on July 27, designed to showcase the artists’ individual talents. Program details will be announced.
