Membership

Membership levels now include concert tickets and unique opportunities to get to know our extraordinary YCA artists. The future of in-person concerts in both New York City and Washington, D.C. is currently unknown. In the event that YCA is unable to present our artists in concert, we will offer refunds or credits for unused tickets in both cities as necessary. In addition, we will work to create special online events to replace our live performances when possible.

Your generosity in joining one of our Membership levels allows you to be a partner in building brilliant musical careers. Join us in our mission to help these young artists thrive. Thank you!!

*Space at all events is subject to availability.
