Showcasing Emerging Talent

The Equity Arc National Ensembles are composed of young artists from across the country.

Extending Support

The Equity Arc National Ensembles bring together young musicians from across the country for an intensive musical residency grounded in artistic rigor, community building, and intentional mentorship. Selected through a competitive audition process, ensemble fellows learn from professional musicians, network with peers from similar backgrounds, and develop the skills and knowledge to succeed in the next phase of their musical journey.

The 2027 National Ensembles will take place in the fall of 2027. Full program and audition details will be available in fall of 2026.

“Being surrounded by such dedicated and accomplished students inspired me to work harder and continue growing as a musician. I learned a great deal from both my peers and the faculty, not only through rehearsals and performances but also through the conversations and connections we shared. The experience deepened my appreciation for music, expanded my network, and motivated me to pursue my musical goals with even greater enthusiasm and confidence.​”
