Atlanta Symphony Orchestra Fellowship Program

The Atlanta Symphony Orchestra (ASO) is pleased to welcome applicants to the new ASO Fellowship Program. This Fellowship is an excellence-based training program for exceptional early-career/post-graduate symphonic musicians representing historically underrepresented populations in American orchestras. The Fellows will perform regularly in the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, gaining invaluable on-the-job experience. The program provides a stipend to the participants, mentorship from ASO musicians, and funding for professional development opportunities and participating in orchestra auditions. Its goal is to prepare these musicians to compete for, and win, positions in major professional orchestras.

This program is made possible thanks to the support of an anonymous donor, Accenture, The Thalia & Michael C. Carlos Foundation, Inc., and The Thalia and Michael C. Carlos Advised Fund.
