Festival Mozaic is proud to have presented the second annual Young Artist Program, a groundbreaking initiative in collaboration with the esteemed Colorado College Summer Music Festival (CCSMF), where Scott Yoo is on faculty. A small group of students was selected as part of the CCSMF audition process to form the Festival Mozaic “Young Artist String Quartet.” They traveled to the SLO Music & Arts Festival to participate in chamber music coachings and community outreach events during the first portion of the Festival, July 15-19. During that time the Young Artists performed five free mini-concerts at our local SLO County Libraries guided by mentors Scott Yoo and Bion Tsang. The program culminated in a full-length Community Concert on July 19 at the Harold J. Miossi CPAC, in which the Young Artists will be joined in performance by their mentors.

When the Main Stage concert series began, the Young Artists joined their professional colleagues on stage and perform side-by-side in chamber music concerts, Notable Encounters, and the final orchestra performance.

We are proud to be partnering with the County of SLO Public Libraries and the SLO County Library Foundation to offer these Mini-Concerts with the Young Artist String Quartet at the libraries in Atascadero, Shandon, Los Osos, Nipomo, and San Luis Obispo.
