The Classics Page: NSO Young Associates
As part of the Youth Education Program of the National Symphony Orchestra, the Young Associates Program is designed to give aspiring musicians the opportunity to learn about the everyday functions of a major symphony orhcestra. This is accomplished through a series of rehearsal observations, master classes, and panel discussions. For more information on this and other NSO Youth Education programs, visit the Kennedy Center Homepage.
More information will be posted on this page as soon as I am able to get back over to a computer (which may not be very long!). For now, I will provide you with a list of the rehearsals and events that I participated in during the 1996 Young Associates' Program.
