In the know

The Young Musicians Innovation Challenge gives high school musicians the unique opportunity to compete for the chance to launch innovative chamber music projects with mentorship and financial support from the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center. Proposals are adjudicated on creativity, viability, sustainability, and ways in which projects address issues of diversity, equity, and inclusion. Student teams in the tri-state area, and the cities of Miami, FL and Philadelphia, PA are invited to apply through their school music departments.

Apply now for the young musicians innovation challenge 2022

Spotlight on Students

Last year’s students were unable to perform in person, but thanks to our dedicated and tech-savvy staff, videos of their remote performances were assembled and uploaded for everyone to enjoy. A few are highlighted below. Links to even more videos on our website!
