Biographical / Historical Note

Young Audiences New York is a non-profit organization that provided concerts and art workshops to grades K-12 in the Clark County School District. It is a division of Young Audiences Incorporated Arts for Learning. The goal of Young Audiences is to enrich the lives of young children through exposure to the arts. From the 1960s to 1980s, Young Audiences operated a Las Vegas chapter called Las Vegas Young Audiences Inc.

As of 2018, Las Vegas Young Audiences Inc. is no longer an individual chapter of Young Audiences, Inc. and is now called Young Audiences New York, Nevada Humanities.
