National Youth Orchestra Conductor Apprenticeship
National Youth Orchestra of the USA (NYO-USA)
is currently seeking applications for two apprentice conductor positions with NYO-USA for 2018, from students between 16-19 as of July 2018 (the same age as instrumentalists in the orchestra).
The invited young conductors will spend three weeks with NYO-USA during its residency at Purchase College and then join the orchestra's Asia tour, Michael Tilson Thomas and Jean-Yves Thibaudet. At Purchase they will be mentored by the program's conducting staff, headed by James Ross and including residency conductor Joseph Young and assistant conductor Ruth Reinhardt. They will have some podium time leading NYO-USA in both a "conducting lab" and during a full rehearsal, conducting a brief extract from the orchestra's 2018 program. They will have opportunities to observe a range of instrumental faculty coach the musicians and to work with NYO-USA apprentice composers and composition faculty, as well as the library and administrative staff.
Other details about the apprenticeship and application requirements may be found
here.
The apprenticeship program also includes positions for two composers, an orchestra manager, and a music librarian.
The application deadline for all apprenticeships is January 12, 2018.
