SPAC Festival of Young Artists Showcases Local Talent
The Adirondack Trust Company Festival of Young Artists returned for its eighth annual event on Sunday, June 1 at the Saratoga Performing Arts Center. Following the theme Wonder – the festival celebrated the collaborative creativity of more than 700 of the Capital Region’s young dancers, musicians, singers, poets, and visual artists, all in support of SPAC’s mission to provide free and accessible arts programming for local youth. The afternoon included individual pop-up performances and art displays, culminating in a large-scale, coordinated production on SPAC’s stage. As part of the production, an original musical composition by festival student, Siyi Guo (Guilderland HS, Grade 12), premiered on the SPAC stage, performed by the ESYO Symphony Orchestra.
