Young artist's auditions now being accepted

Imagine your outstanding abilities in classical, jazz and contemporary music bringing you to a New York City debut to showcase your talents. Add to that an incredible all-expense paid trip to a summer music symposium for clinics, rehearsals and the chance to perform before thousands of students and professional musicians.

The Yamaha Young Performing Artist's [YYPA] Competition is the perfect way for skilled band and orchestral musicians to make these dreams come true and open many doors of opportunity in the world of music performance.

Audition recordings and applications are now being accepted by the Yamaha Corporation for the 19th annual YYPA competition that will recognize exceptional talent. One top winner will receive a $5,000 retail credit towards a fine professional model Yamaha instrument. The highest award will be announced at the Summer Music Symposium to be held in June.

All application materials must be postmarked by midnight, March 15 so get started on your submission right away. For complete details on submission requirements, see the YYPA website.

Yamaha has been a proud sponsor of Youth Education in the Arts since 2000. Both organizations maintain a mission of quality music education and performance opportunities for young performers.
