Concert Artists Guild is committed to supporting the highest level of musician by recognizing their full potential in an ever-changing world.

CAG seeks to partner with musicians who are thoughtful citizen-artists and have a commitment to connecting their music to the greater world. To align with our European partner, YCAT, our annual competition will be moved to the spring starting in 2021 (no fall 2021 competition). For the safety of the competitors, jury and staff, our 2021 competition will once again be held virtually.
