Young Concert Artists

Sarasota Lectures Venice Lectures General Information


Pianist Ran Dank and mezzo-soprano Jennifer Johnson Cano are winners of the Young Concert Artist International Auditions. YCA was founded by Susan Wadsworth in 1961 as a professional nonprofit organization dedicated to discovering and launching the careers of exceptional, but unknown, young musicians from all over the world.

Their illustrious alumni roster includes Emanuel Ax, Dawn Upshaw, Pinchas Zukerman, Paula Robison, Ruth Laredo, Jean-Yves Thibaudet, and the Tokyo String Quartet. The Young Concert Artists of today are the Superstars of Tomorrow. We are proud to present two of their finest on the 2012 SILL roster.
