Young Musicians Concert
For over 30 years, Music On The Divide has presented a concert of
local young musicians who apply, audition and then perform before a live
audience. We have been treated to delightful and amazing performances by
young people who have the disipline to practice, polish and perform pieces
on a variety of instruments. Two seasons ago we were treated to a performance
by Ariadne Antipa, a world-renowned concert pianist who performed a decade
and a half ago in multiple Young Musicians Concerts. Other participants in
the YMC have become teachers and professional musicians.

Richard Smith
Born in Beckenham, England, Richard picked up the guitar at five years
old after watching his father playing a version of "Down South Blues." His
father taught him the fingerpicking style and Smith was soon recognized as
a child prodigy. As a kid he could play the entire discographies of Chet
Atkins and others sharing the stage with his idol when Atkins invited Smith
to play with him at Her Majestys Theatre in London.
He formed the Richard Smith Guitar Trio with his brothers Rob and Sam
before marrying American cellist Julie Adams and moving to Nashville, Tennessee
in 1999. Smith performs both as a solo act and a duo with his wife. His
repertoire includes country, bluegrass, blues, ragtime, folk, jazz, pop,
