Using choral music as a tool for questioning, discovery, and connection, New Voices provides a student with the experience and practice needed to build leadership rooted in both musical excellence and strong knowledge of their culture past and present.
New Voices participants are offered superior training and performance opportunities, empowering them to serve as ambassadors for their country and their generation on a global stage. Programs will consist of audition tips, strategies, sectionals, full rehearsals, and performance improvement workshops.
Following rehearsals, all participating choirs will perform during an awe-inspiring Concert at the world-famous Stern Auditorium in Carnegie Hall.
The Essentials of Music Industry 101 NYC Intensive
Our seminar empowers young people as they explore how to turn their passion for music into a possible profession within the thriving music industry. The 5-day seminar provides high school music students with a behind-the-scenes look into the many careers available in music.
Cultivating leadership in the music industry is at the core of this project and students will have the opportunity to study with award-winning producers, songwriters, entertainment managers and social media professionals in the music industry through music field visits within New York City.
Students will work through a curriculum that supports music education in workforce development, networking, skills-building, problem-solving and teamwork. WeMusic is dedicated to providing students with the necessary business, creative and intellectual skills to make them a valuable player in the growing music industry.
