We are excited to announce that ANAM trumpet alumni, Rainer Saville, has been named for the 2016 New York Philharmonic Global Academy Fellowship Program.
Fellows will learn directly from Philharmonic musicians, a once-in-a-lifetime experience that will immerse them in all aspects of an orchestral player’s life, from audition to performance, learning invaluable career skills. President and CEO of the Music Academy of the West Scott Reed, said, “This is an extraordinary opportunity to gain valuable experience alongside the musicians of one of the world’s greatest orchestras.”
“I congratulate the ten impressive Music Academy fellows who have been selected to join the New York Philharmonic in January 2016 as Zarin Mehta Fellows,” said Philharmonic President Matthew VanBesien. “We truly believe this kind of unique immersion in the life of an orchestral musician is an unparalleled experience, and we’re proud to be able to offer it to these and other students through our Global Academy. The Philharmonic’s first performance residency at the Music Academy of the West was a magnificent culmination of the first year of this cornerstone New York Philharmonic Global Academy collaboration, and we look forward to several more successful years of partnership.”
Congratulations Rainer!
