The Rebanks Family Fellowship and International Performance Residency Program

 

The Rebanks Family Fellowship and International Performance Residency Program at The Royal Conservatory’s Glenn Gould School is the only one of its kind in Canada, offering a rich curriculum for career development.

The Program has been designed to be the catalyst for launching successful professional careers of extraordinary Canadian emerging artists who have completed their formal training, and it will include private study with exceptional faculty and guest artists, concert presentations and career coaching, along with marketing training and support. Additionally, each Rebanks Fellow will participate in a funded European residency.

Tuition Free:

The Rebanks Family Fellowship and International Performance Residency Program is fully funded - there are no tuition or ancillary fees charged. In addition, each Rebanks Fellow receives a living stipend of $6,000.

Faculty Lessons and Coaching Sessions:

Each Rebanks Fellow will have a primary studio teacher from among The Glenn Gould School’s celebrated faculty, who will mentor them and provide focused coaching twice per month.

Career Coaching and Artist Networking Sessions:

Rebanks Fellows will have the opportunity for coaching sessions with visiting performers to Koerner Hall, such as pianists Emanuel Ax and András Schiff. Further, The Glenn Gould School will organize up to three sessions with Canada’s pre-eminent musicians and musical leaders, including Peter Oundjian, Johannes Debus, and Julian Kuerti.

Performance Opportunities:

Performance is at the core of this program. Each Rebanks Fellow will be presented in recital and in important chamber music performances throughout the year at both The Royal Conservatory and with our many presenting partners.

Orchestral musicians will invited to take leadership roles in the Royal Conservatory Orchestra, working with such conductors as Sir Roger Norrington, Tito Muñoz, Leon Fleisher and Johannes Debus.

Rebanks Fellows will be involved in the numerous performance opportunities of The Glenn Gould School, including the New Music Ensemble and master classes with internationally-acclaimed visiting artists.

International Performance Residency:

This residency provides each Rebanks Fellow with the opportunity to experience the highest standard of international music training and performance specific to their own development, and strategically expand their professional outlook and network.
