The Fellowship provided me with incredible access to the finest leaders
in the field, challenging projects, great training programs, and over
200 concerts performed by the finest American orchestras. Upon
reflection, it was the best career decision I made.
- John Forsyte, President, Pacific Symphony Orchestra (Fellowship Class of 1991)
The
Fellowship program opened up possibilities and connections I didn't
realize existed and gave me the confidence to lead a non-profit in a
major market. You will learn what they don't teach you in business
school by getting firsthand experience working with influential leaders
in the classical music world.
- Ryan Fleur, Executive Director, Memphis Symphony Orchestra (Fellowship Class of 1997)
The Fellowship program provided me with a powerful hands-on
learning experience that allowed me to interact with and learn from the
industry's leaders. As a result, I have developed an invaluable network
of colleagues and mentors.
- Rachel Ford, Executive Director, Knoxville Symphony (Fellowship Class of 1998)
The
Fellowship Program provided me with the opportunity to establish the
seminal relationship of my career with some of the most brilliant
people in the business. It is a tremendous opportunity and an honor to
be a fellow.
- Jennifer Barlament, General Manager, Omaha Symphony (Fellowship Class of 1999)
The
Fellowship is a unique program designed to identify, attract and
provide 'fast-track' training for exceptionally talented managers. The
program has been a signal success, and I have found it a wonderful
source for high level management talent.
- John Gidwitz, Past President, Baltimore Symphony Orchestra
