YAGP Returns to NYC: 25th Anniversary Kick-Off Gala

Five years after its creation by co-founders Larissa and Genadi Savaliev, Youth America Grand Prix (YAGP) presented its first Lincoln Center gala program at Alice Tully Hall. Since then, YAGP’s, “Stars of Today Meet the Stars of Tomorrow” Gala, as well as certain other gala celebrations and the overall New York Finals (the “final” Final Round) moved to New York City Center, then back to Lincoln Center (to the David H. Koch Theater), including a season at Brooklyn Academy of Music while the Lincoln Center campus was undergoing renovations. During this time, the sight of bevies of little bunheads parading around the environs in and around Lincoln Center generated smiles by passersby as well as curiosity as to why they were all here.
