Over 50 seasons, Young Concert Artists has brought forth a diverse array of renowned artists who are deeply involved in our musical life. Among YCA's 228 "Alumni" are soprano Dawn Upshaw; pianists Jean-Yves Thibaudet, Emanuel Ax, Olli Mustonen, Jeremy Denk, Murray Perahia, Christopher O'Riley, Anne-Marie McDermott, Richard Goode, and Jean-Efflam Bavouzet; cellists Carter Brey and Fred Sherry; flutists Marya Martin, Paula Robison, and Eugenia Zukerman; clarinetist Todd Palmer; violinists Ani Kavafian, Ida Kavafian, Chee-Yun, and Pinchas Zukerman; and the Tokyo, Borromeo, and St. Lawrence String Quartets.
Young Concert Artists, Inc. was founded in 1961 by Susan Wadsworth to discover and launch the careers of extraordinary musicians, and since 1994 it has also filled that role for outstanding young composers. YCA performers are chosen by the annual Young Concert Artists International Auditions. The musicians compete against a standard of excellence - not each other. There is no limit to the number of First Prize Winners each year, and the Jury has the right to select none if none qualify.
Winners become members of the YCA management roster, winning New York, Washington, and Boston debut concerts, career guidance, and concert engagements. Through YCA's Annaliese Soros Educational Residency Program, YCA artists also perform for and interact with thousands of students nationwide.
Young Concert Artists, Inc. is a non-profit organization whose mission is supported by individual patrons, foundations, The National Endowment for the Arts, The New York State Council on the Arts, and The New York City Department of Cultural Affairs.
