Young People's Concert

The Auditorium Chamber Music Series hosts an annual Young People's Concert for 5th graders in the Palouse region. Students in attendance have the chance to hear world-class performances and learn about all different aspects of music from inspirational artists.

Over 400 elementary school students attended the 2019 Young People's Concert featuring Imani Winds. When asked at the beginning of the concert how many students were interested in playing an instrument in band or orchestra, less than a third of hands went up. At the end of the concert, the question was asked again - nearly all hands were raised. 

Artist groups that have presented the YPC have included the American Brass Quintet, Ying String Quartet, Prism Saxophone Quartet, London Handel Players, Deviant Septet, Imani Winds, and more.
