New World Symphony

The New World Symphony (NWS), is a laboratory for generating new ideas about the way music is taught, presented and experienced. Under the direction of Artistic Director Stéphane Denève, its unique fellowship program trains music school graduates for leadership roles in the field of classical music. Artistic excellence, connection to audiences, engaging communities and entrepreneurial activities are pillars of the experiential curriculum. Diversity, equity and inclusion are high priorities for the NWS and are critical in the preparation of Fellows for leadership positions. The NWS pursues its work in a Frank Gehry-designed campus that is uniquely suited to embrace the digital future, for education and artistic expression.
