​Showcasing Individual Excellence​

The stage is the ultimate test and culmination of a performing artist’s preparation. By the time a major artist appears in a high-profile engagement, the work has been shaped through numerous prior performances, beginning in focused, formative settings that serve as essential steps in a deliberate artistic progression. YAF Solo Recitals offer students those critical experiences within supportive yet professional environments, while also inviting local audiences to engage with the next generation of classical musicians. Students perform across a range of venues, progressing from studio salons to established recital halls, in settings that are thoughtfully aligned with their stages of artistic development.​

​​

Recitals take place in San Francisco, Foster City, and Santa Clara. All YAF students are guaranteed a place to perform in at least one Solo Recital each season, and are highly encouraged to participate in multiple.

​​​​

Developing Stage Presence​

Performances aren't just about playing the notes. Through training with our faculty, students the critical aspects of stage presence. They learn how properly to enter and exit stages, bow, and acknowledge audiences, growing from player to performer in a professional manner.​​
