The Academy - Acclaimed Program for Young Professional Musicians Combining Performance and Community Engagement Begins New Season This Fall
15 New Musicians Join 18 Returning Fellows, Reaching Into All Five New York City Boroughs to Serve as Instructors, Mentors, and Performers in Public School Classrooms
The Academy—an innovative two-year fellowship for post-graduate musicians from leading music schools, providing extensive performance opportunities, intensive training, and education work in New York City public schools—begins its new season this fall with 15 new musicians joining 18 returning fellows in the program. Established in January 2007, The Academy—a program of Carnegie Hall, The Juilliard School, and The Weill Music Institute in partnership with the New York City Department of Education—equips musicians with the skills and practical experience needed to create careers combining musical excellence with commitment to education, community engagement, and advocacy. The program concluded its pilot phase in June 2008 when its first class of fellows completed their fellowships.
Fellows of The Academy will continue to make major contributions to New York City public schools by working alongside music teachers in all five boroughs in the 2008–2009 season. Each fellow will also create, develop, and perform in two interactive ensemble concerts with Academy colleagues in each of their schools—a new component this season. As the critically acclaimed Ensemble ACJW, the fellows will come together to perform 20 concerts at Carnegie Hall, The Juilliard School, and other venues. For the second straight year, The Academy will partner with Skidmore College in Saratoga Springs, New York, to bring its mission to audiences outside of New York City with October and February residencies. Recent alumni of the program will also return, featured in concerts at Carnegie Hall and in Family and Neighborhood Concerts presented by Carnegie Hall’s Weill Music Institute.
“As a pilot, The Academy exceeded all our initial expectations,” said Clive Gillinson, Executive and Artistic Director of Carnegie Hall. “In giving fellows a glimpse of the possibilities that are out there, we have taken them out of the practice room and connected them in a meaningful way with our community. The program provides distinct opportunities for the fellows to explore their own potential as performers and advocates, and for students and teachers to gain invaluable classroom resources and potential role models in these extraordinary musicians. Our work looks to help define the musician of the future—outstanding players who are increasingly fulfilled and engaged with contributing back to music and society in parallel with a commitment to great performance.”
"It is particularly gratifying to see the growth–both artistically and intellectually–that Academy fellows have realized since we began the program, “ said Joseph W. Polisi, President of The Juilliard School. “In particular, seeing the close bonds which have been established between the fellows and children in New York City schools has shown the enormous power that the arts can have in our community. There's no question that these fellows will become future leaders in the arts in the time ahead."
"The Academy is a fantastic initiative that builds on the classroom experience for our students by allowing them to learn from professional musicians," said New York City Schools Chancellor Joel I. Klein. "I applaud the fellows, Carnegie Hall, The Julliard School, and The Weill Music Institute for their continued commitment to enriching arts education in our schools."

Note: A complete Ensemble ACJW performance schedule follows at the end of this release.
School Residencies: Beginning in October, following intensive instruction in educational techniques, fellows—each matched with a New York City public school—will go into their schools, bringing their unique artistry into K-12 classrooms. Depending on the needs of each school, fellows can provide one-on-one or sectional coaching to young instrumental students, teach general music, coach band or string ensembles, or serve as a musical resource at their school. New this season is a focus on in-school interactive performances, with each fellow developing and performing in two of these ensemble concerts featuring their Academy colleagues. The residencies are approximately one-and-a-half days per week for 24 weeks.
In addition to the in-school work by Academy fellows, Academy schools receive a number of additional benefits, including “materials allowances” to be used in support of its music program; professional development opportunities for teachers and principals; student and educator access to the programs of Carnegie Hall’s Weill Music Institute, including free enrollment in its LinkUP! Program for third-through fifth-graders; free concert tickets to select Carnegie Hall Family Concerts, daytime rehearsals, and Ensemble ACJW concerts; school group tours of Carnegie Hall and The Juilliard School; and ongoing consultation with Academy staff.
Skidmore College Residency: The Academy will continue to strengthen its relationship with audiences outside of New York City with two four-day residencies at Skidmore College in Saratoga Springs, New York, from October 1–4, 2008 and February 4–7, 2009. Engaging the Skidmore and greater Saratoga Springs communities, fellows will give performances on the college campus—both in Filene Concert Hall and in non-traditional settings—as well as participate in master classes and lessons with the Skidmore music department, visits to Skidmore classrooms, composition reading sessions with area composers, and K-12 school visits in the Saratoga Springs area.
Year 2 Group Projects: In their second year of the program, fellows are given the opportunity to propose ideas for group projects that fulfill the mission of The Academy, using music as a platform to further engage with the New York City community. Fellows with approved proposals are given access to the resources of Carnegie Hall, The Juilliard School, The Weill Music Institute, and the New York City Department of Education to create, develop, and implement their own community or school-based project. Such activities will hone the skill sets needed to produce similar projects in their future careers.
Last season, three groups of fellows created projects. The Children’s Music Campaign NYC brought together three fellows’ New York City elementary school music programs, enabling more than 80 fourth- through sixth-graders to perform original compositions in a special concert at Carnegie Hall’s Zankel Hall. A second group created Anyone Can Make Music, a Carnegie Hall Family Concert and Neighborhood Concert that was developed with children in a New York City hospital and later provided students and families with an interactive musical experience. A third group created The Bar-olk Project, a free informal Neighborhood Concert for young adults exploring the authenticity of various styles of Baroque and folk music.
Alumni: The Academy seeks to maintain relationships with its alumni, offering them opportunities to perform at Carnegie Hall for a variety of audiences. In the 2008–2009 season, several Academy alumni (along with current fellows) will perform works by John Dowland, Osvaldo Golijov, Michael Ward-Bergeman, and David Bruce in a concert with soprano Dawn Upshaw in Zankel Hall on Sunday, November 2 at 7:30 p.m., and music by Peter Eötvös in a Making Music program conducted by the composer on Thursday, January 29 at 7:30 p.m. Alumni will also be featured in a spring Carnegie Hall Family Concert on Sunday, March 29 at 1:00 p.m. and in Carnegie Hall Neighborhood Concerts (See below for more details; additional information on these programs and dates for the Neighborhood Concerts are to be announced.)
The Academy
The Academy—a program of Carnegie Hall, The Juilliard School, and The Weill Music Institute in partnership with the New York City Department of Education is a two-year fellowship that provides the finest post-graduate musicians embarking on their careers with performance opportunities at both Carnegie Hall and The Juilliard School, advanced musical training including coaching sessions with top musicians, intensive teaching instruction, and the skills and values necessary for careers that combine musical excellence with education, community engagement, and advocacy. Fellows work in partnership with a specific New York City public school music teacher in a variety of grade levels in areas such as interactive performance, instrumental teaching, creative learning projects, and general music knowledge, depending on the specific needs of each school. A partnership with Skidmore College that began in the 2007-08 season will also bring performances and educational events to the Saratoga Springs community.
The Academy was established in January 2007, initiated by Carnegie Hall’s Executive and Artistic Director Clive Gillinson in partnership with Joseph Polisi, President of The Juilliard School. The program reflects their shared belief that the artist of tomorrow will require both the ability to perform at the highest level and the capacity to give back to the community, inspiring the next generation of musicians and music lovers. The first pilot phase of The Academy ran from January through June 2007 with 16 fellows selected from recent graduates of The Juilliard School and participants in The Weill Music Institute Professional Training Workshops. From September 2007 to June 2008, 19 new musician fellows joined 15 returning fellows for the second and final phase of the pilot. For the 2008–09 season, 15 new fellows will join 18 returning fellows. The Academy selects fellows through an open application process and pre-screening. Applicants who pass the pre-screening are invited to New York City for a live audition.
