Our Mission

Our mission is to give aspiring young artists an opportunity to experience and learn how to captivate an audience by "Taking The Stage."  The insightful feedback from our world class adjudicators and the masterclass we offer to all participants will be geared to show young musicians that playing music on stage is more than just hitting the right notes.  It is about telling the story using your entire mind, body and heart. 

Scholarships

Scholarships will be granted to selected winners based on the adjudicator's decision.
