The New York Philharmonic forms partnerships with a small number of highly promising instrumental music programs, especially in underserved areas of New York City, in order help raise the level of instruction and performance. Aiming to foster ongoing personal relationships, members of the orchestra coach individual students, sections, and whole ensembles. Less developed instrumental programs that enjoy strong administration support can apply to work with Philharmonic Teaching Artists in a similar capacity. Ensembles also attend events at Avery Fisher Hall as part of a broader relationship designed for each individual school.
