The eighth annual Young Artists Recital will be held this Sunday, March 27, beginning at 3 p.m. in the sanctuary of First United Methodist Church.

Sunday’s recital will include vocalists, instrumentalists, and pianists performing solos and ensembles they took to the Ohio Music Educators Association’s District III Solo & Ensemble Contest held recently in St. Marys. Some of the very finest area school musicians will be representing Crestview, Van Wert and Lincolnview high schools. Over the past eight years, some students have gone on to receive music degrees and are performing professionally throughout the United States.

The Van Wert County Foundation has been sponsoring this event each year and First United Methodist Church has provided the concert setting. The public is invited to attend this free event.  A reception of cake and punch will follow the recital, at which time the public, friends, family members and fellow students can congratulate these fine school musicians.
