YOUNG MUSICIANS

Bravo to Laura and Eduard Schmieder and their distinguished advisory board for launching such energetic and much-needed projects as the International Laureates Chamber Music Festival and Young Artists International (“Taking Young Musicians to the Next Stage,” by Josef Woodard, July 26).

Helping “novice artists with management, competitions, financial assistance and other administrative functions” is something commendable for talented young musicians entering the very difficult world of classical music. I applaud their efforts in this worthwhile attempt to grant exposure to the many brilliant artists struggling to get recognized.
