The Steans Institute for Young Artists identifies and brings together each summer talented young instrumentalists from around the world to make music together under the supervision of an internationally renowned faculty. Young artists at the Steans Institute attend master classes given by musical luminaries, have daily coaching with the Institute’s faculty and present recitals offered as part of Ravinia Festival’s summer programming. Many of the Institute’s alumni have gone on to achieve notable successes in both solo and chamber music performance.
