Concert Artists Guild

Concert Artists Guild

The Concert Artists Guild is an American musical institution, based in New York City and established in 1951. It is dedicated to discovering and nurturing musical talent and helping musicians start careers. It provides scholarships and grants and also runs the CAG Records label.

According to organizer Richard Weinert, “We begin with 350 musicians of any type or sort—vocalists, duos, instrumentalists, worldwide—whittle them down until 12 finalists remain, and from those, usually three or four are selected who have the combination of training, talent, and that extra pizzazz that is needed to have a successful concert career.” [1]The three or four winners are then managed for several years, mentoring them in becoming successful concert musicians.
