Congratulations to NWS Fellows and Alumni on 2017-18 Job Wins
During the 2017-18 season the New World Symphony has welcomed prestigious collaborators, partnered with local, national and international educational institutions and experimented with new concert formats designed by our Fellows, who continue to perform a variety of challenging music at a distinguished level every week. Now many of our talented, bright Fellows and alumni are taking the skills they've developed during their time here and moving on to professional positions around the world. From San Francisco to Zurich, NWS Fellows will continue to make an impact among their colleagues and in their new communities as they have here in Miami Beach. Join us in congratulating all our Fellows!
