Fellows of Ensemble Connect are extraordinary young professional musicians engaged in a two-year program that supports their pursuit of careers combining musical excellence with education, community engagement, advocacy, and leadership.

For the school-partnership component of Ensemble Connect, fellows partner with an instrumental music specialist for two years in a New York City public school for an in-depth performance residency, bringing their artistry, creativity, and enthusiasm to support instrumental learning.

If you have any questions, please contact Deanna Kennett, Assistant Director, Ensemble Connect dkennett@ensembleconnect.org.

• Partnership with an Ensemble Connect fellow—25 in-person visits over the course of the school year, or the equivalent in remote-learning support
• Performances by members of Ensemble Connect
• $500 materials stipend
• Four professional development sessions for instrumental music specialists
• Access to support and supplemental remote instrumental learning materials by the community of musicians in Ensemble Connect
