Overview

Mission

The mission of Young Tradition Vermont continued to ensure that children, youth, and young adults have opportunities to be inspired by, learn about, and perform traditional music and dance to serve their communities.Young Tradition Vermont continued offering virtual programming and educational solutions to continue to meet the needs of its constituents during continued COVID-19 related challenges in 2021-2022. Despite the continuation of operating virtually, with some in person activities, theorganization served a high number of constituents as supported by the number of students and general audience in the programming described below, grouped by Performance, Education, and Instruments. YTV was also able to offer both in person and virtual live performances.

What it reported doing in 2022

Performance: Performances included concert presentations, showcase concerts featuring young performers, Baird 5 Pediatrics visits at the Vermont Children's Hospital, Touring Group rehearsals, performances and tours, Young Tradition Festival concerts, contest, showcases and tributes, and performance proceeds that contribute to the Tom Sustic Fund supporting families with children being treated for life-altering conditions or in hospice care. There are education and instrument elements within these programs, but the primary format and focus is performance. While Performances continued to be online using Facebook, Youtube and Zoom, YTV was able to present some of theseperformances live as well. Online performances continue to be watched and enjoyed much past their initial streaming dates.
