Annual
Spotlight on 
youth

In December, we showcase our students at our annual Spotlight on Youth Program.  The program includes high school students, college students, and often those who are performing professionally.

​

The participants look forward to seeing each other perform and the G.L.A.M., Inc. provides an honorarium to each participant, and the afternoon ends with a reception hosted by the branch.


Often the musicians perform in ensembles or accompany each other in their pieces,  though many did not know one another when they first entered our program. Consequently, enduring friendships have developed and flourished for years.
