BWW Reviews: Young Musicians Demonstrate Mature Talent
by Carla Maria Verdino-Süllwold - Jul 8, 2013

The Fourth of July weekend continued at the Bowdoin International Music Festival with an exciting showcase of the festival's young talent: a four-hour lineup of back to back concerts in the Artists of Tomorrow series. The purpose of these recitals is to create a platform where the festival's students, who range in age from fourteen to mid-twenties, can gain experience performing in a supportive environment. In the first two programs which I attended, twenty-five young artists from seven different countries played with passion, verve, and a firm grasp of the essentials of professional concertizing on the stage of the elegant, acoustically excellent Studzinski Recital Hall on the Bowdoin College campus.
