2025 PMAY Artists' Initiative Showcase Concert at Settlement Music School

The 2025 PMAY Artists' Initiative Showcase Concert will take place on February 22 at Settlement Music School's Mary Louise Curtis Branch in Philadelphia. The event will feature eight talented young musicians from the Philadelphia Music Alliance for Youth (PMAY), performing works by composers such as Dvorak, Bach, and Paganini. Notable performers include Sydney Vance, a Jack Kent Cooke Young Artist Award recipient, and Ora Avila, winner of the PYAO Concerto Competition. The initiative aims to increase access and representation in classical music for historically excluded students, supporting their development into accomplished musicians.
