The Young Artist Program is the keystone of CPMF’s educational mission, offering to serious young musicians in the San Antonio area a TUITION-FREE opportunity to study with, and be mentored by, some of the nation’s top chamber musicians. The program also gives these young artists an opportunity to share their talents with the community in free concerts around greater San Antonio
