Playing alongside the Student Fellows are Professional Mentors, including some of the world’s best orchestral musicians. Members of the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra, New York Philharmonic, New Jersey Symphony Orchestra, Orpheus Chamber Orchestra, Orchestra of St Luke’s, and other NYC-area ensembles provide an unforgettable experience for both musicians and audience.
