Who Should Apply?

  • THE APPLICATION WINDOW FOR OUR SUMMER 2026 FESTIVAL IS NOW OPEN. Are you a string player between the ages of 20 and 30 who is dedicated to innovation, collaboration, community, and the art of our time? Are you looking to meet like-minded artists, and to immerse yourself in a journey of creation and discovery in a supportive environment? Are you looking for the “anti-festival” — an experience designed from the ground up to be unlike any other?

  • Our application processes for composers and choreographers are run separately. Keep an eye out for opportunities!

“Pay-What-You-Can” model

  • As part of our commitment to supporting the artists of tomorrow, we’re committed to equity and access for ALL our Fellows through our “pay-what-you-can” policy – enabling every artist to attend at a price they can afford. Our application is FREE.

  • We’re grateful to our generous donors to make this possible.
