The new world symphony, america's orchestral academy (nws), offers a three-year postgraduate fellowship program focusing on musical technique, performance, audience development, and community engagement. Founded in 1987 by michael tilson thomas and ted arison, nws seeks to expand its 87 fellows' musical and professional horizons beyond traditional conservatory training. Visiting faculty offer master classes, coaching, private lessons, and advanced seminars in audition training, performance psychology, communications, and community engagement. In addition, nws fellows perform weekly concerts, playing a diverse repertoire in an array of performance formats. Nws envisions a strong and secure future for classical music, seeking to redefine, reaffirm, and share its traditions with as many people as possible. Nws' campus, new world center, opened in january 2011 to worldwide acclaim. The facility was built based upon the needs of nws programming, and invites and encourages the organization's use of technology for arts education, audience development, and community outreach and engagement. Using digital technology, video, moving images, and lighting, nws is broadening and diversifying audiences for classical music.

Deep investments in technology over the years allowed nws to rapidly scale up virtual activities to ensure the fellowship program continued, albeit differently than originally planned.”
