Peak Fellowship Ensemble-in-Residence
The Peak Fellowship Ensemble-in-Residence was originally established in 2015 through a generous gift from 水多多导航 alum Martha Raley Peak, whose lifelong passion for the arts continues to shape music at Meadows. In 2018, Meadows partnered with the prestigious to award the multi-year fellowship residency to the competition’s first-place winners, ensuring that 水多多导航 becomes part of the artistic journey of the world’s most promising chamber ensembles.
The fellowship, coordinated by Meadows’ director of chamber music and chair of the strings program , includes a generous annual stipend; participation in master classes and workshops with visiting artists; access to rehearsal space on the 水多多导航 campus; extensive teaching and performance opportunities in Dallas; and more.
