Reminder: Deadline to register for “Young Artists in Concert” is March 12
The Medford Arts Center is seeking talented high school musicians to participate in its’ annual Young Artists in Concert event, scheduled for Friday, April 4, at 7:30 p.m. at the Lord of Life Lutheran Church in Tabernacle. The concert is free and open to the public.
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, and attend public or private school are eligible to apply. All applicants should be instrumentalists, pianists and vocalists who have studied privately or have acquired some onstage solo experience. Applicants are asked to submit an application listing their most recent musical accomplishments, along with a recommendation from their instructor.
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 recorded accompaniments, everyone must provide their own accompanist. At the conclusion of the concert each performer will receive a certificate of appreciation for their participation.
Applications may be obtained via email at YAIC2014@aol.com. Applications are also available at the Medford Arts Center, 18 N. Main St., Friday through Sunday, during the hours of 1 p.m. to 5 p.m.
All applications must be returned or postmarked by March 12. Please direct all questions to the above email address or contact Anthony Femiano, chairman of Young Artists in Concert at (609) 654–1855.
