The Mason Gross Extension Division plans to partner with Central Jersey’s Bravura Youth Orchestra to develop the Young Artist Program, a rigorous course of study for 9- to 18-year-old vocal and instrumental musicians.

The program will be held at Rutgers University in New Brunswick, according to a news release from Mason Gross.

Students from both organizations will participate in chamber music ensembles as well as music theory courses designed to prepare students for major examinations—Associated Board of Royal Schools of Music, Royal Conservatory Music Development Program, and Advanced Placement Music Theory.

Advanced performers will have the opportunity to audition for acceptance to select collegiate ensembles at Rutgers and for private instruction with participating Mason Gross School faculty members, according to the release.

"The Bravura Youth Orchestra and the Rutgers Mason Gross School Extension Division share a common commitment to music education and music making at the highest level," says Chiu-Tze Lin, conductor and music director of Bravura Youth Orchestra. "We’re excited about the synergy that comes from joining great teaching and unique performance opportunities. Our partnership will be a beacon for young musicians in the tri-state area."

The program will run Saturdays throughout the fall and spring semesters on the Douglass Campus at the Mason Gross School of the Arts in New Brunswick. Elective classes will be scheduled for Saturday afternoons. Selected course offerings will be available mid-week.

"The collaboration between the Mason Gross Extension Division and the Bravura Youth Orchestra exemplifies perfectly the way a university and a community organization can join forces to the benefit of all," says Mason Gross Dean George B. Stauffer.

Bravura, established in 2007, is the preparatory orchestra of the award-winning Bravura Philharmonic Orchestra. The Bravura Youth Orchestra includes pre-college musicians from Mercer, Middlesex, Monmouth, Somerset, and Union counties.
