Canada National Arts Institute

The Young Artists Program, founded by Pinchas Zukerman in 1999 and now in its 21st edition, offers outstanding private instruction and chamber music coaching with additional career-related sessions and mentoring as well as performance opportunities including public chamber music concerts, public masterclasses, closed works-in-progress sessions and recitals.

Seventy exceptionally talented, classically trained young artists from around the world keen to steep themselves in individual instruction and to explore “musical conversation” within a chamber music community of peers, will be selected to study with an internationally renowned faculty in a comprehensive program in Ottawa.

Senior and Precollege students will be immersed in music playing and networking with like-minded young artists, all at the University of Ottawa School of Music and at the National Arts Centre nearby.
