Young Performers Career Advancement 2007

Young Performers Career Advancement (YPCA), part of the Arts Presenters Classical Connections initiative, is a program designed to assist selected classical musicians in the formative stages of their careers by offering opportunities to meet and work with established presenters, managers, agents and artists.

The program provides a practical overview of the presenting and touring industry, along with expert instruction in the development of audience engagement skills and the chance to perform in front of a wide array of professionals from the field. Through a national partnership developed with the Sphinx Competition, Arts Presenters also provides an opportunity for a Sphinx Competition alumni artist or ensemble to participate in the program each year. Participants receive:

* Mentored Visit
* Seminar Activities
* A Showcase Appearance

Young Performers Career Advancement (YPCA) is dedicated to helping young professionals take an informed step forward in their careers. Participants will have the opportunity to meet and work with presenters and managers, develop audience education skills and receive a general overview of the presenting and touring fields.
