launch the careers of more than 1,150 alumni worldwide. A laboratory for the way music is  taught, presented and experienced, the New World Symphony consists of young musicians who  are granted fellowships lasting up to three years. The fellowship program offers in-depth  exposure to traditional and modern repertoire, professional development training and  personalized experiences working with leading guest conductors, soloists and visiting faculty.
