SUMMER STRING AND VOCAL FELLOWSHIPS

CHICAGO, IL

The Grant Park Music Festival's String and Vocal Fellowships aim to increase diversity among American orchestral and choral ensembles and guide early career musicians from under-represented populations toward successful professional careers in music. Come be a part of the nation’s longest running free outdoor summer classical music series!

We have so many great things in store for this summer's string and vocal fellows including master classes with world renowned artists , a high-profile recital series featuring solo opera arias and chamber works, an opportunity to work with today's best composers in world premiere performances including a string quartet written especially for the 2023 Fellows by world-class bassist and composer, Xavier Foley, and performing for 10,000+ people in downtown Chicago with the Grant Park Orchestra and Chorus!
