The Houston Symphony and Rice University s Shepherd School of Music have joined forces to create the new pilot program: The Shepherd School-Houston Symphony Brown Foundation Community-Embedded Musician Fellowship.
Providing one apprentice the opportunity to develop community engagement skills under the guidance of the Symphony s Community-Embedded Musicians (CEMs) and Education and Community Engagement staff, the Fellowship goes annually to a Rice Graduate student, who then learns to work with children and other populations from Houston s underserved communities. This exciting partnership aligns with the mission of the Shepherd School s newly established taskforce, MUSE (Musicians United for Social Equality), which in part aims to engage with young musicians from underrepresented groups.
