In a nutshell
The nonprofit offers a music competition and career development for classical artists while also offering free or low-cost opportunities for the public, according to its website. This year, its music competition will be held March 6-8, 2025.
“Reaching our 40th year has been tremendously moving and inspiring to us,” YTA President and CEO Susie Moore Pokorski said via news release. “We have been helping emerging classical musicians of Texas launch successful careers since 1983, and we remain strongly committed to continuing that work—and to inspiring and captivating our audiences. Our new season honors Young Texas Artists’ legacy and celebrates the vibrant future of classical music.”
The competition is open to artists ages 18-30—or ages 20-32 in the voice division—who are Texas residents or attending a Texas music school, according to the news release. There are four performance divisions: piano; strings; voice; and winds, brass, percussion, harp and guitar.
