The Gilmore

Competition victories no longer guarantee a career.

Today’s successful artists need to know much more than the music– they need to know how to navigate the industry, build their own audiences, take more programming risks, and cultivate an extensive network of peers and collaborators.

The Gilmore Festival Fellowship is a ten-day immersive experience focused on professional music culture with an holistic approach to the art, the business, and the person. The supportive, professional environment is designed to cultivate the whole artist, through mentorships, master classes, Festival performances, workshops, and networking.

Classical and jazz pianists 18 years and older may apply.
