Young Artist Concert with HAWE

Join us for the 34th year of our YOUNG ARTIST CONCERT. The Event will be at the Hornell High School Auditorium and with begin at 7:30pm April 5th. Be sure to come get seats and watch these incredible young students showcase their hard work!

This tradition was initially the idea of Luther Hoffman, a former conductor of the band. In 2016, Georgine Salisbury’s name was added to honor her commitment to young artists of all ages. She and her husband, Ken Salisbury, have been ardent financial supporters of this annual concert. With Ken’s passing in January of this year, we take time to honor him, as well.

Both of our young artists are local – one is from Savona, and the other from Arkport. In late January, students auditioned in front of several music teachers who are in the ensemble. The young men on our poster, Carter Brown and Bryan Hess, are to be congratulated for their accomplishment in the audition. We thank Patricia Wiggers for taking charge of the process for the Young Artist Concert.
