For the 2026 season, we are accepting viola and cello Jeiven fellowship applications.

Named after our major donor, the Jeiven fellowships offer high-level, early-career musicians the opportunity to take on a leadership role in our community. Jeiven fellows participate in three groups, partnering with faculty members to lead the ensembles artistically. Most importantly, they act as the solo coach for at least one of their three groups. Jeiven fellows are expected to be excellent social role models as well as musical leaders.

Applicants should be a minimum of 30 years old; have stellar recommendations and a well-developed CV; and be actively pursuing performing/teaching careers.

Jeiven Fellows receive an honorarium.

Applicants will be reviewed in a competitive process. Finalists will be contacted for an interview round.

To apply, please send the following to :

• Cover letter
• CV
• Two recordings (please send as links)
• Two letters of recommendation (recommenders should send on your behalf)
