Young Musicians Series
MPAC’s Programs
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.

The Young Musicians Series recitals are open to all students ages 8-18. Students are welcome to register as solo performers or in small ensembles, and they should choose performance pieces between 3 and 8 minutes long. All participants are required to have a teacher recommendation (from either a private lesson teacher or school music teacher). There is no registration fee, and selection is on first-come first-serve basis.
For the 2022-2023 season, recitals are scheduled for the following dates:
November 19, 2022 – February 25, 2023 – April 15, 2023
All dates are Saturdays, from 2pm to 4pm
The deadline to register for each recital is 8 days prior to its scheduled date.
