Associates of the Redlands Bowl

The Young Artists Auditions were established in 1952 to provide a venue where young, talented musicians audition with others in their field and gain experience competing and performing. The winners receive monetary awards.

The final auditions are open to the public. They are being held this year on April 25, 2010, at the University of Redlands. The Associates of the Redlands Bowl sponsor the competition through monetary awards.

The Children’s Festival Workshops were established for elementary aged children to increase their appreciation of the Redlands Bowl Summer Music Festival’s programs, develop good audience skills, and further their understanding of music. They are also lots of fun!

There are two sessions of Children’s Workshops presented by the RCMA during the Festival. The Tuesday Workshops are from 3-3:45 p.m. at the First Congregational Church, 2 W. Olive Ave. The Saturday Workshops are from 10-10:45 a.m. at the Redlands Community Center, 111 W. Lugonia Ave. The Saturday series is made possible by a Community Development Block Grant approved and funded by the County of San Bernardino and the City of Redlands.

Workshops typically feature artists appearing at the Bowl or other facets of the Festival, such as presentations on the art of conducting the orchestra or directing the community sing. Children are encouraged to attend the evening performances with their family.
