Mission Statement
The Seattle Young Artists Music Festival Association is an all-volunteer, 501(c)(3) non-profit arts organization dedicated to extending educational and performance opportunities to young musicians.
About This Cause
The Seattle Young Artists Music Festival Association was founded in 1970 with a non-competitive philosophy focused on musicianship and the development of performance artistry. The un-graded masterclass format uniquely distinguishes the Seattle Festival from most others, and enables Festival adjudicators to focus on teaching in an interactive learning environment for festival entrants. Since its inception, national adjudicators of outstanding quality have been a hallmark of the SYAMFA Festival. Adjudicators come from such prestigious music institutions as the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra of New York, The Juilliard school, Oberlin Conservatory, Eastman, The Curtis Institute, The Cleveland Institute, and many other renowned music programs. The result of these two combined values is often substantial growth in the musicianship of the participating young artists and a greater mastery of their chosen instrument. In its youth, our event was held in local area churches and other small venues but for nearly two decades, the Festival has partnered with the University of Washington School of Music where the annual event now occupies the entire Music Building during the University's spring break.
