Congratulations to NWS Fellows and Alumni on 2022-23 Job Wins
Stéphane Denève makes his NWS Artistic Director debut at the New World Center, April 2023
The New World Symphony envisions a strong and secure future for orchestral music. Over the past 35 years, NWS has prepared over 1,200 Fellows for careers in performance, education, innovation, advocacy and administration. These talented musicians take with them skills they've developed during their time with NWS to professional positions around the globe.
We congratulate the following Fellows and alumni who won positions during the 2022-23 season. With over 60 placements, this season’s wins are among the highest recorded in NWS history. These Fellows and alumni will continue to make an impact among their colleagues, students and in their new communities as they have here in Miami Beach. Join us in celebrating their accomplishments.
