The Young Artist Chamber Players (YACP) was founded by Jack Ashton in 1985. Ashton is a member of the Utah Symphony, and recently retired from teaching at Olympus High School. He wanted to give excellent string players along the Wasatch Front a chance to participate in a quality chamber orchestra. In 1988 the orchestra was incorporated and a Board of Directors appointed.
Through the years, the YACP has enjoyed many wonderful
playing opportunities. In addition to their regular concerts, the orchestra has
been invited to perform as part of the Governor’s concert series, in the Lobby
fest at the Utah Symphony, Side-by-Side concerts with the Utah Symphony and in
concerts with Pro Musica and Jubilate. For the past nine years YACP has
performed with Utah recording artists Marshall McDonald and Steve Nelson in a
Christmas concert/fund-raiser for the Utah Food Bank. The most recent concert
was attended by over 1000 people. They also make an annual bus tour to perform
at venues in Utah or Idaho.
Membership in YACP has become so popular that it has grown
into a family of four string orchestras with members from elementary through
high school. YACP remains a high achievement for these young players, who must
audition for a place in the orchestra.
The Young Artist Chamber Players are supported by grants
from the Utah Arts Council; the National Endowment for the Arts; the Salt Lake
County Zoo, Arts, and Parks Program; and many volunteers.
