NEC Honors Ensembles
For groups that exhibit both extraordinary accomplishment and a commitment to work together, the Honors Ensemble program can be the springboard for a group to become a permanent, professional ensemble. Groups audition for Honors every October before an outside panel of jurors (in the case of classical chamber music groups) or for NEC faculty (in the case of the jazz/wild card groups). The groups selected through this process become NEC Honors Ensembles for the remainder of the school year, during which time they receive special mentoring and the guarantee of a Jordan Hall recital. Through NEC’s Performance Outreach program, Honors Ensembles give three performances off campus and receive training in shaping programs for and speaking to specialized audiences.
Although many Honors Ensembles only stay together through the duration of their school years, others find or confirm a vocation through the program.
