2005–2006 Young People’s Concerts
The very successful inaugural season of the College of Musical Arts’ Young People’s Concerts took place during the 1997/98 school year, and was the college’s first-ever series planned specifically for children.
The Saturday morning 45-minute programs, created to introduce young people to various styles of music, focused on entertaining and educating, and all included interactive experiences for children. The 2005–2006 season of Young People’s Concerts will present five concerts, and will again focus on different styles and genres of music and instruments.
All 2005–06 YPC concerts will be held in Bryan Recital Hall at the Moore Musical Arts Center.
