The AMF Contemporary Ensemble Fellowship seeks to identify and support musicians deeply committed to promoting new and contemporary music. As a resident ensemble of the festival, the members have the unique opportunity to collaborate with the festival's composer community, consisting of over 40 composers, throughout the festival season.

Each fellow receives a stipend of $800 and complete financial coverage of tuition, housing, and meals during the six weeks of residency, allowing them to focus on their artistic growth and development free from financial burden.

The fellows' primary responsibility is to premiere the works of these composers, giving them an unparalleled opportunity to work closely with a thriving community of artists. Furthermore, fellows have frequent opportunities to collaborate with artist-faculty members, perform as featured artists in our concerts, and as members of our orchestra.

Open to instrumentalists, the Contemporary Ensemble Fellowship is an outstanding opportunity for emerging musicians to collaborate and perform at the forefront of contemporary music while acquiring the experience necessary to enter the new music world.
