2022 Garth Newel Emerging Artist Fellowship Concert at GBO
Music comes to the Observatory from the Garth Newel Music Center in Warm Springs, VA! Musicians participating in the Emerging Artist Fellowship, an intensive chamber music program, will share their talents with us.
The Emerging Artist Fellowship Program is a four-week, intensive chamber music program for string players and pianists ages 18-28. Both individual instrumentalists and pre-formed ensembles are encouraged to apply. Highly competitive fellowships are awarded to dedicated instrumentalists who will receive lessons and coaching from the Garth Newel Piano Quartet and other renowned faculty. Each participant receives a Fellowship Award valued at $3,000, which covers the cost of tuition, room and board.
This free public concert will be held in the Green Bank Science Center auditorium at 7:00 pm on Thursday, August 11. Free tickets must be purchased in advance from the Green Bank Observatory website; walk-ins cannot be admitted.
