The Fellows program will offer a full scholarship, and will cover room and board.
AlpenKammerMusik is thrilled to announce our inaugural Fellows Program. Open to pre-professional or young professional musicians, AKM Fellows will have an experience that is both artistically and professionally meaningful. They will act as assistant faculty to festival instructors from top universities and conservatories from around the globe, including Royal Academy of Music, Guildhall School of Music and Drama, and Eastman School of Music; artists from major ensembles like the Dalí Quartet; and heads of management agencies like Concert Artists Guild. Under the careful guidance of AKM’s staff, Fellows will also act as “shadow” administrators, learning the nuts and bolts of how to operate a music festival that caters to young artists, professionals, and especially talented amateurs.
For a second round, AKM will ask potential candidates to sit for an interview with faculty and staff.
We are looking for two inaugural AKM Fellows who clearly demonstrate the following qualities:
Exceptionally fine playing at an artistic and technical level
Demonstrated interest in the professional musical life, evidenced by entrepreneurial artistic activity
An interest in music pedagogy, and willingness to collaborate with musicians of all levels
Demonstrated economic need for a high level of assistance to attend this or other programs
Please submit the following to be considered in the first round of applications:
Complete the application on getacceptd.com
Submit a video recording of a complete solo work (concertos are acceptable) AND a video of a performance of a complete chamber work
Evidence of your level of economic need (e.g. a letter from your college/conservatory/university outlining your scholarship offer)
A statement of interest in the fellowship, stating how the position aligns with your career goals
