Every year, the best young musicians from around the world gather for the YCA Susan Wadsworth International Auditions. The criteria for winning are exceptional musicianship, virtuosity, individuality, projection as a performer, and promise. Of over 150 musicians, three to four are selected to join the Young Concert Artists roster, and launch their career on major stages around the world.
