Nouveau Program
The Nouveau Program was created in 2007 to support increased participation in classical music by African American and Latine student musicians and to provide equitable opportunities for music study and performance.
Nouveau offers four areas of study for the young instrumentalists: Novice was developed for beginning string players; Apprentice is for intermediate to advanced string students; Chamber Players is for up to eight advanced string students; and Winds offers opportunities for woodwind and brass players in grades 9–12 who are at intermediate and advanced levels.
Students receive weekly chamber coaching, performance opportunities throughout the season, and access to special workshops. Since its creation, 57 students have participated in the Nouveau Program.
Nouveau recitals are free and open to the public. Upcoming performances are January 16, January 29 (Novice Recital), April 2 (Apprentice Recital), April 30 (Showcase Recital), May 7 (Chamber Players Recital), May 14 (Chamber Players Recital), and May 21 (Novice Recital). Visit cincinnatisymphony.org/nouveau for dates and locations.
Nouveau is sponsored by the D’Addario Foundation, Queen City (OH) Chapter of The Links, Incorporated, George and Margaret McLane Foundation, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLC, and The Wohlgemuth Herschede Foundation.
