ENSEMBLE CONNECT
Ensemble Connect is a two-year fellowship program for extraordinary young professional classical musicians in the United States that prepares them for careers combining musical excellence with teaching, community engagement, advocacy, entrepreneurship, and leadership. Each year, Ensemble Connect holds two five-day residencies at Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê College in October and February. While in residence, the fellows of Ensemble Connect engage with Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê students — as well as the broader Saratoga Springs community — offering master classes, lessons, class demonstrations, and interactive performances, culminating in a performance in Helen Filene Ladd Concert Hall in Arthur Zankel Music Center, that has included works commissioned for the ensemble.
Ensemble Connect, now entering its 17th full season, is a program of Carnegie Hall, The Juilliard School, and the Weill Music Institute in partnership with the New York City Department of Education.
Established in 2007, the residency at Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê has included the following compilations:
