In collaboration with the United States Department of State, Carnegie Hall is pleased to offer The Carnegie Hall Fellows Program, an international musical and cultural exchange program. Through the Fellows Program, musicians from abroad have the opportunity to perform in New York, as well as in other American cities. American musicians, in turn, travel and perform abroad. In both cases, cultural exchange is an essential component of the concert tours, and Fellows participate in educational and outreach activities in addition to their regular performances.
The program focusses on a different geographical region in each phase of the project.
