This highly competitive program has launched the careers of countless world-class musicians since 1961, including such luminaries as Emanuel Ax, Midori, and Hilary Hahn. The series provides a crucial bridge between conservatory training and major concert hall debuts, offering audiences the rare opportunity to discover tomorrow's classical stars today.
