New Jersey Symphony Orchestra: New Jersey Symphony Orchestra Colton Fellowship (2 string positions)
Posted: Dec 1, 2021Overview
The New Jersey Symphony Orchestra Colton Fellowship is an excellence-based program designed to support early-career Black and/or Latinx musicians in the orchestra field. This initiative continues the NJSO’s commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion.
The Colton Fellowship will support up to two fellows per year to participate in NJSO performances, receive mentorship and engage with the community.
To be considered for the NJSO Colton Fellowship, eligible candidates must submit an application. Invited candidates will display artistic excellence through a blind audition and discuss their commitment to advancing diversity, equity and inclusion in the arts during a short interview.
For the 2022–23 season, there are two positions available for a violinist, violist, cellist or bassist. One fellow may receive an additional contract for part of the 2021–22 season. Audition travel assistance may be available upon request. Audition coaching with NJSO musicians will be available.
The application deadline is January 10, 2022.
The NJSO will hold auditions February 28–March 2 at NJPAC in Newark, NJ.
This fellowship is made possible by a generous gift from Judith and Stewart Colton.
