The inaugural YGK Emerging Musicians Competition seeks to inspire and support Kingston’s rising musical talent, and provide excellent tools for a musical career launch for talented emerging musicians.

Kingston has a fabulous music scene and we are here to help emerging musicians put their best foot forward, to share their talents widely, and launch themselves with professionally produced tools. A prize pack valued at $7500 will be awarded to each of five finalists, as determined by a Jury.

This Competition is in collaboration with the Isabel Bader Centre for the Performing Arts at Queen’s University. The YGK Emerging Musician Competition is generously supported by Ballytobin Foundation, Venture Club, and Kingston Economic Development Corporation.

ANNOUNCING THE 2022/23 SEASON! 

THE ISABEL - COVID-19 RESPONSE AND RECOVERY

MASKING MANDATE

In order to minimize uncertainty and disruption and to continue to support students, staff, faculty, and the university community, Queen's University will maintain the COVID-19 masking policy until at least the end of May 2022.

Under Queen’s current masking requirements, all faculty, staff, students, and visitors will continue to be required to wear ASTM F2100 Level 2 medical-grade masks while indoors on campus.

VACCINE MANDATE

In an effort to protect the health of our Isabel patrons, the Isabel will continue to require proof of vaccination to attend an Isabel series event in the month of May 2022. Please bring proof of vaccination (Ontario residents must show the QR Code version of their vaccination receipt), and photo ID. Your documents and masking will be checked upon entering the Isabel to attend an Isabel series event. The current vaccine mandates are determined by individual events. Please contact the Isabel to find out if this is required for the event you are attending.

Any individual who requires an accommodation under the Ontario Human Rights Code with respect to vaccination status must provide approved supporting documentation. Applications for this accommodation to come to Queen’s University campus can be made here COVID-19 Vaccine Accommodation | Human Resources (queensu.ca) *Please note this link can be used for staff, faculty, and general public. This process takes approximately two weeks and must be completed prior to visiting the Isabel.
