2026 ITF Performing Artist Series

The Performing Artist Series is a set of recitals where performers from a wide range of professional backgrounds perform a single work on a recital with 4-6 soloists. Chosen through an adjudicated application process, the performers on a PAS recital always bring diversity of style and musical voice. New works and under-performed extant works are the focus of this series, so audiences are sure to enjoy something new to them played by leading artists from around the world.

Special thanks to our selection committee!
