Festival Fellows
The Festival String and Vocal Fellowship is a unique training opportunity for emerging artists aimed at guiding young professionals toward successful careers in music.
Each year outstanding young musicians are hand-selected by the Festival to rehearse and perform within the ranks of the Grant Park Orchestra and Chorus, and receive one-on-one mentoring from seasoned professionals. Performing in parks and community centers around the city, the Festival fellows serve as an integral part of the Festival's summer lineup. They provide daily musical demonstrations within the Classical Campers program, participate as members of the Grant Park Orchestra and Chorus, perform throughout the city via the Chicago Park District's Night Out in the Parks program, and gain valuable experience in public speaking, ensemble work, and the management of a busy music career.
Please consider supporting our Festival Fellowship program with a gift to the Festival.
