Denison University welcomes acclaimed Young Concert Artists
Denison University's Vail Series welcomes Young Concert Artists on Tour at 7 p.m. on Thursday, Feb. 15, in Swasey Chapel, located at 200 Chapel Drive. Tickets are free for Denison students, faculty and staff. Denison shares these experiences with the larger community by making a limited number of tickets available for public sale on a first come, first served basis for $20 each. Visit vailseries.org for tickets and more information.
Young Concert Artists are rising stars in the world of music — artists who combine world-class talent with creative vision to bring new reach and relevance to the art form. For more than 60 years YCA has discovered extraordinary young musicians, providing them with the support, clarity, and confidence to tell their stories, as well as with the tools, opportunities, and infrastructure to take their careers to the highest level.
YCA’s rigorous audition process ensures that only the most extraordinary musicians are chosen to join the YCA Artist Fellowship Program. With a legacy of artistic excellence recognized around the world, YCA on Tour showcases modern artists who are more than simply gifted, highly-trained musicians — they are also cultural ambassadors who share musical experiences that reflect the beauty and diversity of the world around them.
The Vail Series was endowed in 1979 by a generous gift from the late Mary and Foster McGaw in honor of Jeanne Vail, class of 1946. Just as it was intended to do, the series enriches the artistic experience of the entire Denison community. Programmed creatively with the mindful pursuit of learning across traditional academic boundaries, more than 100 individual Vail Series artists have found their way to Denison’s classrooms and stages, but that doesn’t include the dozens of ensembles or full symphony orchestras that have played here over the years.
