At the heart of the Ad Astra Music Festival, our young artist program provides undergraduate voice students with professional performance opportunities. We accepted four YAs during the first week of March, mere days before the pandemic upended our lives. Although we will not be able to meet them in person, we wanted to ensure a platform for their music. Curated by Katelyn Mattson-Levy, Young Artists at Home features our YAs sharing their voices from their own living rooms.
