The Young Artists Auditions were held Sunday, January 7 in Roberts Hall of the UAH campus. The audience members had the pleasure of hearing four very talented young musicians perform and compete. Afterwards a lovely backstage reception organized by YAA cochair Bess Csar was held where contestants, audience members, families and teachers, Guild and Symphony representatives mingled and enjoyed homemade treats.
