What people say about the Program

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.

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.
