The Cincinnati Young Artists Chamber Music Festival is pleased to continue our Rising Artists Program (RAP). RAP is an opportunity for outstanding younger string players, pianists and woodwinds to immerse themselves in the art of chamber music through an intensive 6-day festival working with world-renowned guest artists. Accepted students are placed into ensembles by age and ability. Extensive rehearsals and coaching culminate in performances in Werner Recital Hall at the University of Cincinnati, College- Conservatory of Music throughout the week. Students age 12 and younger may apply for this program. Visit the CYA YouTube Channel for previous festival performances.
Guest faculty new to the festival include Nicholas Kitchen of the Borromeo Quartet, Judith Ingolfsson and Masumi Per Rostad. Janet Sung and Rictor Noren return as well!
