We’re passionate about supporting local community arts events and pleased to partner with the Carmel Arts Council by hosting its Young Performers Showcase and providing a digital piano door prize to one lucky winner. In its 19th season, this year 107 participants competed in six age categories. Nearly $4,000 in cash prizes was given away.
The Young Performers Showcase began in 1998 as an opportunity for local youth to perform before an audience and to encourage their participation in the instrumental arts. Excelling in the instrumental arts requires patience, discipline, and confidence. The Showcase allows the performers an opportunity to practice these skills and display their talent in a welcoming and supportive environment.
