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.

Hedge fund manager and philanthropist Roy Niederhoffer has served as Chairman of the Concert Artists Guild.[2]

gollark: The in-memory database is, however, really fast, it's fearlessly concurrent™, and it uses relatively high performance libraries.
gollark: For ease of implementation it uses an in-memory database which isn't hugely space-efficient. But I don't anticipate this using more than something like 10MB on Minoteaur-sized databases, and PHP/MW database backends (except SQLite) have more overhead than that anyway, as far as I know.
