Community Projects

The Academy fellows are encouraged to pursue community-based group projects during the second year of their fellowship. These projects put into practice The Academy's mission of combining musical excellence with education and community engagement and are an opportunity for the fellows to hone the skill sets needed to put these types of programs together under the guidance of expert organizations.
The M.U.S.I.C. Exchange

The M.U.S.I.C. Exchange runs from November 2008 through March 2009 creating a musical and written conversation across cultures and generations through an exchange of musical ideas and letters. Participants include students from PS 153M and Long Island City High School; 10 refugee high school students participating in the International Rescue Committee youth program; and members of the Philharmonic Orchestra of the Americas (POA).
