Apply to the next festival
Who Should Apply?
Are you a string player between the ages of 20 and 30 who is dedicated to innovation, collaboration, community, and cutting-edge performance? Are you looking to meet like-minded artists, and to immerse yourself in a journey of creation and discovery in a supportive environment? Are you looking for the “anti-festival” — an experience designed from the ground up to be unlike any other?
Our processes for composers and choreographers are run separately. Keep an eye out for opportunities!
“Pay-What-You-Can” model
As part of our commitment to supporting the artists of tomorrow, we’re committed to equity and access for ALL our Fellows through our “pay-what-you-can” policy – enabling every artist to attend at a price they can afford. Our application is FREE.
We’re grateful to our generous donors to make this possible.
Application process & timing
Our application window is currently closed. We begin accepting applications as soon as the coming season is announced, around January of each year. Sign up for our mailing list and follow us on Facebook/Instagram for earliest access.
Our application process is completely free.
