The winter/spring concerts by percussionist Michael Yeung, soprano and pianist Chelsea Guo and classical accordionist Hanzhi Wang all share a common thread-they all come to us via the not-for-profit Young Concert Artists which is dedicated to identifying and advancing the careers of young performers. 

For more than 60 years YCA has stood at the forefront of discovering and launching the careers of the future leaders of classical music stars who combine world-class talent with creative vision to bring new reach and relevance to the art form. YCA invests in its artists by 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. With a legacy of artistic excellence recognized around the world, YCA alumni include such luminaries as Emanuel Ax, Julia Bullock, Anne Akiko Meyers, Jeremy Denk, Ray Chen, Anne-Marie McDermott, Richard Goode, Dawn Upshaw, Mason Bates, Zlatomir Fung, Jean-Yves Thibaudet, Kevin Puts, Pinchas Zukerman, Randall Goosby, Sasha Cooke, and many more. 

By buying tickets to all three performances, on January 27, March 6, and May 19, you save more than one third off the regular ticket price, which is like seeing one concert free! Don't miss this opportunity to see rising stars at intimate Baruch PAC, before they move on to bigger halls and most likely higher ticket prices. This offer is only good through the day of the first concert in late January, so don't wait.
