This Sunday afternoon, February 8, features the Van Wert County Young Artist Recital at First United Methodist Church in Van Wert.\u00a0 It starts at 3 p.m. and presents the very talented young musicians from Crestview, Lincolnview and Van Wert High Schools.\u00a0This is the 12th annual Van Wert County Young Artist Recital, sponsored by The Van Wert County Foundation.<\/p>\n
There will be 19 solos and ensembles on the recital this year.\u00a0 They have all performed at the Ohio Music Educator\u2019s Solo & Ensemble Contest held three weeks ago at St. Marys Memorial High School.\u00a0 Based on their outstanding performances, they have been recommended to be on this prestigious recital.\u00a0 Past performers have gone on to professional music careers in performance and teaching.\u00a0,<\/p>\n
The Young Artist Recital is free and open to the public.\u00a0 One of the primary purposes of this event is to allow the public and other students enjoy performances that have been worked on for months, in some cases.\u00a0 Our recital gives the students another opportunity to perform for parents, grandparents, fellow students from different schools and the general public.\u00a0 I hope you can make it to First Church\u2019s sanctuary for this free performance and encourage our youth who are doing good things with their lives through music.\u00a0 It is a great learning experience for these young adults.<\/p>\n
Laugh and learn this Saturday and Sunday with comedy and music, right here in Van Wert!<\/p>\n
