Young Artist Guild
The Young Artist Guild is the highest achievement that a Certificate of Merit student can attain. The Young Artist Guild (YAG) offers semi-professional, paid performance opportunities to our most gifted young soloists through branch sponsored concerts. Each year a special YAG concert and a reception are held at the MTAC State Convention. This concert serves as a debut for the newly selected Young Artist Guild members. A student belongs to the Guild for five years, and may be invited to perform at various MTAC branches throughout the state during his or her tenure as an active member. In some cases, the Guild also provides awards, scholarships and other financial support for its members.
Eligibility:
Keyboard, string and wind students must be in the llth or 12th grades and be in the Advanced Level of performance. Vocalists in the 12th grade through age 25, who are enrolled in CM Level 9 or Advanced, and who have participated in at least three years of Path A CM including the current one, are eligible for Young Artist Guild. Students must prepare a 45 minute program of pieces.
