Mendelssohn Performing Arts Center's Young Musicians Series recitals provide an opportunity for area young musicians to shine! In preparation for recitals, students develop memorization skills, poise, and self-discipline, while becoming familiar with great music and musicians. The young musicians are motivated to practice as they look forward to performing for family members and the community.
Art songs are poetry set to music. They come from different eras, countries and languages; they comprise a world of song. The Art Song Project is an ongoing exploration of this world: singers hunt for, prepare and then perform their songs for the group. It's like a book club for singers. The Art Song Project is also a place to practice performing a solo to be presented elsewhere.
