In 2017, the program will once again be led by Fellowship Artistic Director and SSO Principal Viola Roger Benedict, who has successfully directed the program since its beginnings in 2001.

The 2017 Fellowship will be open to musicians who play the following instruments:

Violin

Bassoon
Cello
French Horn
Double Bass
Trumpet
Flute

Applicants will be required to submit a video audition along with their application. Following this, the top applicants will be invited to audition in front of a panel of professional SSO musicians.
