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 Â鶹Æƽâ°æ College in October and February. While in residence, the fellows of Ensemble Connect engage with Â鶹Æƽâ°æ College 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.
