DCINY Emerging Conductors
DCINY Debut Conductors
DCINY's Mentoring
Program for DCINY Emerging Conductors and DCINY Debut Conductors prepares talented conductors who have demonstrated success
in their regional choral or
orchestral programs to make their conducting debuts at a major concert hall in
New York, including but not limited to Avery Fisher Hall at Lincoln Center or
Isaac Stern Auditorium at Carnegie Hall.
Upon
acceptance into the program, the
DCINY Emerging Conductor or DCINY Debut Conductor is invited by DCINY to
conduct a major choral work with a chorus of 150-250 singers, a professional
orchestra and professional soloists, comprising a 25-35 minute portion of a
concert to be produced by DCINY in New York.
DCINY
then pairs the Emerging/Debut Conductor with an
experienced mentor who gives the conductor a hands-on overview
of the work to be performed, taking into account all of the elements that must
come together for a successful performance. Mentors include
such first-tier conductors as DCINY's Conductor Laureates -- Paul Salamunovich, Eph Ehly, Vance George, Craig Jessop, and John Alexander,
among others.
In
the months preceding the concert, DCINY pays the Emerging/Debut Conductor's
travel and overnight accommodation expenses for one or two 2-3 hour private
sessions with the Mentor at the Mentor's location. If it is more appropriate,
DCINY will pay for the Mentor to visit the Emerging/Debut Conductor's hometown.
The Mentor's consultation fee is paid by DCINY. If the
host ensemble should wish to engage the Mentor as a clinician or as a guest
conductor, that opportunity is also possible. A stipend and partial
expenses are also paid to the Emerging Conductor or Debut Conductor for
rehearsals and their performance in New York.
