Christian Hebel at YoungArts Week 2015
It was YoungArts Week January 4-11, 2015 in Miami where we selected the 2015 Presidential Scholars in the Arts. There were a pool of over 11,000 young artists this year from across the country. That number was reduced to just under 200 students who were in Miami. Twenty (20) were chosen as Presidential Scholars and invited to perform and show their art at the White House. The students have been creating, writing and collaborating every day this week and they are crazy talented.
I taught a MasterClass on January 9, 2015 for some incredibly gifted and cool young musicians. It was a true honor to once again work with the gifted artists of YoungArts Foundation.
YoungArts is the signature national organization that recognizes and supports America’s most talented 15-18 year old artists in the visual, literary and performing arts. For more information, visit their website - www.youngarts.org.
