As part of its educational mission, Distinguished Concerts International New York initiated its Premiere Project in 2009. The purpose of the Premiere Project is to encourage debuts, premieres, and other firsts by composers, conductors, soloists, instrumental, and choral ensembles. Whatever the "premiere," DCINY guarantees that it will receive the best exposure possible - at one of the world's foremost concert halls, such as Stern Auditorium at Carnegie Hall or Avery Fisher Hall at Lincoln Center in New York.
