The Emerging Artists inaugural program in the Spring of 2015 captured the imaginations of an enthusiastic audience in the Perelman Theater at the Kimmel Center with six outstanding performers featured in vocal, instrumental, composition and dance. From the surprise visit by maestro Yannick Nezet-Seguin to welcome our newly minted awardees . . . to the video stories of each artist . . . to the hosting by CBS3 personality Ukee Washington . . . to the actual performances by our talented young artists . . . the evening was mesmerizing and inspirational. It captured a moment that is to be relived each year as new emerging artists are highlighted.
