Festival Artists and MahlerFest Fellows

MahlerFest’s Festival Artists are the backbone of our festival. A team of leading soloists, chamber musicians, and orchestral principals from all around the world, they serve as inspirational principals of the MahlerFest Orchestra and anchor our chamber music program.

MahlerFest Fellows are aspirational early-career artists who are among the musical stars of the future, given opportunities to perform in prominent roles on the MahlerFest Stage.
