Project Title: NEXTGen Musician Program
\nProject Description:<\/p>\n
NEXTGen Musician is a youth leadership and arts advocacy program for New York City teens who are passionate about music. The only program of its kind in NYC, NEXTGen equips teens with the knowledge and tools they need to develop as performing artists and burgeoning leaders in the cultural arts sector. <\/p>\n
Each academic year, NEXTGen engages a cohort of 12 teens ages 15-18. The students \u2013 who are recruited from traditional public or charter schools across the boroughs \u2013 come from various socio-economic, racial and ethnic backgrounds, bringing with them a wide range of life experiences and perspectives. The diversity of the cohort is one of its key strengths: Students learn not only from celebrated guest artists and thought leaders but from each other. The result is a genuine broadening of students\u2019 horizons as they cultivate an artistic community of like-minded peers. <\/p>\n
During the first year of enrollment, each teen receives:
\n-A program stipend of $500;
\n-Weekly private music lessons;
\n-Masterclasses and performances featuring renowned musicians;
\n-Career labs and workshops on arts advocacy, including lobbying, building grassroots movements, and the art of public speaking;
\n-Mentorship opportunities with professionals in the field of technical music production;
\n-Excursions to events at cultural organizations;
\n-A culminating arts advocacy campaign project aimed at local policymakers and their influencers;
\n-College application support. <\/p>\n
Launched in 2022, NEXTGen has a vibrant alumni network of 21 teens from the FY22 and FY23 cohorts. Alumni remain engaged with Midori & Friends via the Alumni Advisory Panel for mentoring, community advocacy, and other projects. Crediting NEXTGen with nourishing their passion for the arts, program alumni are currently enrolled at such esteemed institutions as Princeton University, Thornton School of Music at University of South California, Peabody School of Music at John Hopkins University, Manhattanville College, SUNY Purchase College, and Carleton University. <\/p>\n
