Young Artists Program
The Manchester Music Festival’s Young Artists Program is a five-week, full-scholarship chamber music residency for outstanding string players and pianists ages 18–26. Designed as a bridge from conservatory to concert stage, it offers an immersive, performance-focused experience.
Young Artists are fully integrated into Festival life, performing alongside renowned guest artists in an intensive schedule of rehearsals, concerts, and events.
Applications to the 2026 Young Artists Program open November 17, 2025.
