Meet the Orchestra
The Future of Classical Music
2024 Orchestra
Each year 80 young musicians are chosen to perform with the National Repertory Orchestra, where they are trained for professional careers in music over the course of our eight-week Summer Music Festival. All musicians accepted into our intensive summer program receive full tuition, room, and board during their stay, amounting to a $10,000 merit-based scholarship per student.
During their stay in Breckenridge, the musicians undergo rigorous training and delve into a vast array of repertoire—more than any festival of its kind. Participants will undergo immersive orchestral and chamber performance opportunities under the tutelage of Music Director Michael Stern and our impressive host of guest conductors, as well as receiving instruction in masterclasses and sectionals. They also take part in our Community Engagement program, where they perform in engaging and free performances throughout Summit County, to create a vibrant cultural experience for our community while learning important fundamentals about becoming socially conscious musicians.
The program’s distinguished alumni populate the stages of major orchestras globally, a testament to the transformative impact their time at the NRO has on our musicians.
