YOUNG CLASSICAL ARTISTS TRUST: 40 YEARS
Many a leading artist’s career might have turned out differently if it had not been for the Young Classical Artists Trust. “Without YCAT I’d probably still be wondering whether or not I should be a singer,” says Ian Bostridge. Since 1984, the British organization has supported rising young artists embarking on an international career by providing opportunities to perform as well as assistance with management and marketing. For its 40th anniversary, current and former participants gather at the Pierre Boulez Saal to present a program of large-scale chamber works by Franz Schubert and Samuel Coleridge-Taylor as well as a new composition by current YCAT Composer Fellow James B. Wilson.
