Join us for the 2025 Emerging Artists Recital! This recital will showcase rising talent from this year’s LJSC Emerging Artists Competition. Judged by violinist Lauren Rausch, pianist Dan Yu, and vocalists Aram Barsamian, and Katie Polit, these young musicians demonstrated both technical and artistic excellence through a program of diverse musical works.
