Due to the current health crisis, we regretfully must cancel this 2020 Young Artist Competition. This is disappointing news for us, as well as for the students who have been working so hard in preparation for the competition.
The Etude Club of Berkeley's support for the community and encouragement of our young musicians will not waver. It is our great hope to resume this annual event in the coming season.
