Come, be astounded, and witness the next generation of virtuoso musicians performing highlights of four String Quartets and four World Premieres of short Bach-inspired mini quartets by students from Fear No Music’s Young Composers Project (YCP)! This ensemble concert is the culmination of an intensive three-week program focused on offering promising young musicians the opportunity to hone their musicianship as soloists and quartets, and perform in a diverse range of settings.

Launched in 2022, Chamber Music Northwest’s Young Artist Institute (YAI) is an intensive education program for 16 talented string players from around the world, ages 14-18. Your “Give What You Can” ticket purchase supports this life-changing experience for these young musicians!

2025 YAI celebration follows the concert

The YAI Finale Concert is sponsored by The Acorn Fund of the Oregon Community Foundation.
