OKEMO YOUNG ARTISTS RETURN FOR FIFTH SEASON
Talented young students and faculty of the Okemo Young Artists Program will again bring their exciting chamber and solo music to the Okemo Mountain Resort. Celebrating a month-long series of free classical concerts, they will begin with a Gala Opening Night performance Thursday, June 17 at 7:30 PM at their Sugar House Lodge training facility on Okemo Mountain. The series continues with four weeks of concerts every Saturday (Ludlow Town Hall auditorium), Tuesday (United Church of Ludlow), and Wednesday (Sugar House Lodge). The festival runs from the June 17 Gala through the Grand Finale performance on Friday, July 16 (Sugar House Lodge) and the public is invited to all concerts, which mark the group’s 5th season at Okemo Mountain. All events are free; goodwill donations are welcome and applied toward scholarship funds.
The Okemo Young Artists' Program provides an intense musical environment in a beautiful setting at the Okemo Mountain Resort. An exceptional group of 30-35 students from across the USA and Canada are selected each year to
study with world-renowned faculty. Students receive bi-weekly private lessons and chamber music coachings, weekly guest artist masterclasses, and performance opportunities. The students, ages 10-21, include winners of national and international competitions and are preparing for careers as professional musicians on the violin, viola, cello, flute or piano.
