0 Comments

 
This May, The Ume Group is pleased to announce the second-ever class of Performance Apprentices to join the ranks of The Ume Group Ensemble.  Chosen from a round of competitive workshop-style auditions last month, these 6 artists will work alongside The Ume Group's Core Ensemble to create new works and perform the company's repertoire while also participating in the classes at The Ume Group School.  At the end of their 15-week Apprenticeship some of them may even be selected to join The Ume Group's permanent Core Ensemble, which - besides creating & performing together, teaches and learns together at The Ume Group School.

Sponsor an Apprentice!

Just $170 covers all the staffing, space rental, and other fees necessary for a single student to join the Apprenticeship Program in Summer 2016.
