Activities that students will also participate in include performing with regional youth orchestras, master classes with professional musicians from the NSO and Peabody Conservatory, side-by-sides and on-stage performing, and attending professional concerts. BWMP also offers experiential opportunities including regional convenings, internal and external summer learning, immersive cultural experiences, coaching support, instrument support, and support for parents and families as students develop and deepen their musical learning. BWMP is excited to bring in other organizations whose missions align with the work of the collective to provide experiences and services outside of the cohort\u2019s purview.<\/p>\n<p>With grateful appreciation to<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-53856 size-medium alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/peabody.jhu.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/The-Andrew-W.-Mellon-Foundation-300x172.jpg\" alt=\"The Andrew W.
