New World Symphony
The New World Symphony, America’s Orchestral Academy (NWS), is where the future of orchestral music is envisioned, cultivated and shared. Through fellowships lasting up to three years, NWS prepares talented young musicians on the cusp of their professional careers to become artistic leaders in performing, educational and community-based organizations worldwide. Led by Artistic Director Stéphane Denève, NWS Fellows refine their musical voices, while developing the entrepreneurial, collaborative and civic skills required of 21st-century musicians. Since its co-founding in 1987 by Artistic Director Laureate Michael Tilson Thomas and Lin and Ted Arison, NWS has helped launch the careers of over 1,300 alumni who now shape the artform around the globe.
