New York City
Collegiate Honors Recital
Manhattan Concert Productions is pleased to announce the first in its new series of Collegiate Honors Recitals. Universities are chosen to have a performance competition in their department, selecting a slate of semi-finalists. The Artistic Director of Manhattan Concert Productions then travels to the university and leads a panel to judge the recital of competing semi-finalists.
