Dear CYA Musicians and Parents,
We would like to formally welcome you to the Cincinnati Young Artists Chamber Music
Festival. Please note that this year we will again be holding all Festival activities at CCM.
We are very pleased to inform you that over 50 talented young musicians ages 12 - 18
from as far away as Cleveland, Atlanta, Virginia, and Tennessee will be participating!
Additionally, we have 3 Conservatory Fellowship groups made up of college students.
•Final concerts will take place on FRIDAY, JUNE 5 at 7PM and SATURDAY, JUNE 6 at 1PM in
Werner recital hall at CCM. All students are required to stay the full length of both concerts. There will be a reception to follow. Parents of students in town are kindly asked to
bring a treat to share for the reception.
•The Workshop will be Monday - Friday from 9AM - 5PM. On Thursday, students should
plan to stay for a pizza party at 5PM and the faculty concert at 7PM. Friday evening
dinner will be on your own before the student concert that evening. On Saturday,
students will have rehearsals from 9AM-12PM followed by the final concert at 1PM.
Students performing on Friday evening need only be at the Saturday Concert at 1PM.
•Monday morning orientation will be held promptly at 9AM in Mary Emery Hall in the basement (Level P1) in room 1630. There will be signs to direct you.
