The Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center is excited to launch the first-ever Young Musicians Innovation Challenge open to high school students in the tri-state area or the cities of Miami, FL or Philadelphia, PA! This new competition challenges teams of 2-5 high school-age students to launch innovative projects which would benefit the chamber music world. Projects may focus on areas like performance, pedagogy, access, social impact. Proposals will be adjudicated on creativity, viability, sustainability, and ways in which projects address diversity, equity, and inclusion.

Up to 5 teams will be selected as finalists and will receive a scholarship of $1000 paid to their school to implement their proposed project by the end of the 2020-21 school year.
