National YoungArts Week: Classical Music Concert

An evening concert spotlights the next generation of classical musicians as part of a weeklong national program dedicated to emerging artistic excellence.

The 2026 National YoungArts Week: Classical Music Concert takes place on Thursday, January 8, at the New World Center, offering audiences a rare opportunity to hear outstanding young performers selected through YoungArts’ highly competitive, blind adjudication process. The program features classical musicians from across the United States who have been recognized as competition winners with distinction and invited to Miami to further develop their craft alongside internationally respected mentors.

This concert is a longstanding component of National YoungArts Week, an annual gathering that brings together exceptional artists ages 15-18 to collaborate with peers, participate in intensive training and present their work to the public through a series of performances and showcases. Together, the evening reflects YoungArts’ mission to identify promising talent and support artists at a pivotal moment in their creative journeys.
