Faculty: Visiting Artists


NYSMF's Visiting Artist Program provides a rare opportunity for our students to interact with professional musicians of international acclaim.

Visiting artists present master classes, workshops, and a limited number of private lessons (for an additional fee) each week in a friendly, casual, and always professional environment. These artists often perform in evening concerts as soloists with our orchestras and in recitals.

Our list of Visiting Artists in constantly growing, and is subject to change. Please keep checking back for updates!
