Supporting the chamber music world's ecosystem has always been one of Artistic Director Cindy's passions. It includes everything from music education, (including appreciation!) mentoring young professionals, to the larger working industry of chamber music.
The SK Mozart Rising Stars is a select group of only the very best of the best young musicians from top institutions like Juilliard, Music@Menlo, Perlman Music Program, and Marlboro School of Music. It is a requirement that these musicians have already had years of professional experiences under their belts. Because as a SK Mozart Rising Star, you're expected to work as an equal alongside the professionals with a workload and pacing consistent with a realistic professional engagement. As you can imagine, it can be incredibly intense to put out 3 concert programs a week.
