This year, Young Artists Spotlight goes to the concert hall, with a season featuring recorded concert performances from the Central Valley’s top student ensembles.
From the stages of Fresno and Bakersfield, to Disney Hall in Los Angeles, we’ll hear talented student groups live in the spotlight. Join us and hear why the future of classical music in the San Joaquin Valley is especially bright.
