Official Page

The Harmony Fellowship for Underrepresented Arts Administrators is a six-month placement at the New Haven Symphony Orchestra (NHSO) in New Haven, Connecticut. It is one of four Harmony Fellowships the orchestra runs for groups traditionally underrepresented in classical music.

The fellow chooses the department(s) to work in, completes short- and long-term projects with NHSO department heads, is mentored by staff, and presents the work to staff and board members at the end.

Benefits & funding

  • A $2,500 stipend over the six-month fellowship.
  • Hands-on project management experience in the department(s) of your choice, tailored to your career goals.
  • Mentoring from NHSO staff and a closing presentation to staff and board members.

Eligibility

  • The NHSO publishes no hard nationality, residence, age or degree requirement.
  • Its ideal candidate comes from a diverse and/or underrepresented background, is interested in arts administration, and is invested in the New Haven community.
  • A bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience is a plus, not a requirement.
  • The work is done with NHSO staff in New Haven; the page says nothing about visas or work authorization.
