The English Concert in America Fellowship
The Future Masters of Historical Performance
About the Fellowship
In addition to its association with The English Concert, TECA has established a partnership with Juilliard’s Department of Historical Performance. Students in this esteemed program dedicate themselves to the study and performance of music from the late 16th to early 19th centuries, using period instruments and historically informed techniques.
Through this collaboration, TECA offers a limited number of highly competitive Fellowships to outstanding Juilliard graduates. TECA Fellows receive more than just a monetary award: they are welcomed into a vibrant community of artists committed to historical performance at the highest level. The Fellowship provides access to leading figures in the field and the chance to learn from, record, and perform alongside The English Concert – opportunities that bridge academic study with real-world artistic experience.
“I am truly thankful for everything TECA has done to enable me to follow the career of my dreams.”
“TECA provides an infrastructure for my colleagues and me to reach audiences we wouldn’t normally get to play for in places we don’t usually get to perform.”
“I enjoy the incredible and palpable support from an organization that cares deeply about its Fellows. It’s given me the courage and freedom to delve deeply into my craft as I can. I also enjoy opportunities to perform with and learn from some of the greatest musicians in our field – the members of The English Concert.”
“It is an honor to be a part of the TECA family. TECA’s presence has gone beyond musical purposes, offering thoughtful support in difficult times, which is something for which I am very thankful.”
