About the Performers
The DACAMERA Young Artists program is a fellowship for emerging professional instrumentalists, vocalists, and composers. The goal is to encourage musicians to develop the skills necessary to become passionate, forward-thinking, community-focused “citizen artists”—artists who reimagine the traditional notions of their music-making and embrace the role of contributing to society through the transformative power of art and proactive social engagement.
