Philadelphia Ballet Orchestra Apprenticeship Program

Application Due Date: July 25, 2025

Applications are open for the Philadelphia Ballet Orchestra Apprenticeship Program! We will admit one or two young conductors from the Philadelphia area, ages 18-24, who are eager to learn about the ballet orchestra, how it is similar to other ensembles and how it is different. Apprentices will be mentored by Music Director, Beatrice Jona Affron, with whom they will explore musical and technical questions about works within and outside of the ballet repertoire. Apprentices will observe and assist with rehearsals in the studios and performances at the Academy of Music for a real, hands-on experience.
