[Tuesday, November 13, 2018 - Los Angeles, CA] Harmony Project is excited to announce the launch of the International Academy of Young Conductors (IAYC), a premiere, tuition-free conducting and leadership training program for young musicians from all over the world.

Committed to diversifying classical music leadership from the ground up, Harmony Project will provide 12 students ages 13 to 18 from underrepresented communities with a unique opportunity to gain the technical knowledge and social skills required to lead musical ensembles and enter the world of conducting. The curriculum will cover a wide range of topics - from composing and ear training to music history and administration - to produce well-rounded, industry-conscious young conductors. The first cohort will spend 100+ hours working with top conductors, professors, and music administrators from around the world.
