New World Symphony

Thank you for your interest in the New World Symphony! 

Founded by Michael Tilson Thomas in 1987, New World Symphony is a place for early-career musicians to hone their artistic voice, reconnect with the joy of making music and perform alongside some of the greatest artists of our time. Every New World Symphony Fellowship is tuition-free and includes a furnished apartment, living stipend, travel grant and leadership training.
