VC LIVE | Young Concert Artists' 2023 Susan Wadsworth International Auditions

Tune in on November 11 at 10 AM (ET) to witness the finals of this year's YCA auditions

Established in 1961, the Young Concert Artists (YCA) Susan Wadsworth International Auditions has since provided emerging artists opportunities to connect with top industry professionals to further their music careers. This year, 38 musicians were chosen to advance to the semi-finals of the Young Concert Artists' annual competition.

From the Auditions, the YCA adds a new group of winning artists to its roster each year. Winners receive a minimum three-year management contract, high-profile debuts, plus national and international recital and orchestra performance opportunities.

Additionally, winners will benefit from full promotional and marketing services, educational residency experience, and professional development, as well as YCA’s network of industry managers, concert presenters, top conductors, and financial supporters.

The semi-finals will take place from November 7-9 at Merkin Hall at Kaufman Music Center, in NYC. Also at Merkin Hall, the Finals will be held on November 11 at 10:00 AM. The Winners Concert will be hosted at The Morgan Library & Museum's Gilder Lehrman Hall on November 12 at 4:30 PM. All events will be streamed LIVE on The Violin Channel.
