PREMIA International Young Artists Music Festival

PREMIA International Young Artists Music Festival aims to inspire young musicians in the pursuit of artistic excellence, provide them with the unparalleled experience of performing at the prestigious Weill Recital Hall at CARNEGIE HALL New York, and create an international platform for young musicians to interact and learn from world renowned performers and pedagogues. 2nd PREMIA Festival was very successful with over 500 participants and 25 PREMIA Laureates performing at the Carnegie Hall Prizewinners Concert in July 2023. 

3rd PREMIA Festival 2023-2024 launches with the ONLINE Competition for ages 4-25, 5 Masterclasses FREE for all Competition Participants, and culminates in two CARNEGIE HALL Prizewinners Gala Concerts in New York. We continue to offer CARNEGIE HALL Scholarships for Prizewinners with financial needs, and 20 Grand Prizes as Masterclass Awards.

The 3rd PREMIA Festival promises to be an exciting and enriching experience for all. I highly encourage you to participate, and look forward to seeing you at the Festival!
