The Medford Arts Center is seeking talented high school musicians to participate in its annual Young Artists in Concert event, scheduled for Friday April 24, at 7:30 p.m. at the Lord of Life Church in Tabernacle.
This program is designed to showcase the area’s highest level of talented high school performers and will include instrumentalists, vocalists and pianists performing everything from Bach to Broadway selections.
All high school students residing in the Lenape Regional High School District are eligible to apply. All applicants should be instrumentalists, pianists, and vocalists who have studied privately and/or have acquired some onstage solo experience. Small vocal/instrumental ensembles are also welcome.
Each applicant must submit an application listing his/her most recent musical accomplishments, along with a recommendation from his/her instructor.
Since performers are not permitted to use taped accompaniments, each participant must provide his/her own accompanist.
In addition to providing the young artists with a large and very appreciative audience, this concert offers an opportunity for them to get some extra use from that solo that was used for regional tryouts or perhaps a college audition. It also enables the student a means of testing out a piece before a crucial audition, a technique many experienced musicians have used successfully. Since performers are not permitted to use taped accompaniments, each participant must provide his or her own accompanist. At the conclusion of the concert each performer will receive a framed certificate of appreciation for their participation.
Applications are available at the Medford Arts Cents on Friday, Saturday and Sunday during the hour of 1 to 5 p.m., or may be obtained via email at: [email protected]. All applications must be returned by April 7. Please direct all questions to the above email address or contact Dr. Anthony Femiano, Chairman, YAIC at (609) 654–1855.
