The Julius Rudel/Kurt Weill Conducting Fellowship supports one or more conductors in the early stages of a professional career who are interested in assisting a master conductor in the preparation of a performance or production of the works of Kurt Weill and/or Marc Blitzstein. Appointed Fellows will gain first-hand experience with the processes and specific approaches of master artists and thereby expand their own artistry, and acquire greater understanding of and comfort level with Kurt Weill’s and Marc Blitzstein’s catalogues.
Prospective conductors and organizations interested in hosting a Rudel/Weill Fellow are encouraged to contact:
