We are delighted to announce the two winners of this year’s AAF Young Conductors Fellowship:

Clancy Ellis, MM Orchestral Conducting ‘23, Mannes School of Music

Adrian Rogers, MM Orchestral Conducting ‘27, The Juilliard School           

Clancy and Adrian will travel to Salzburg in July for a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Using Schloss Arenberg as their home base, they will have the chance to sit in on almost all the rehearsals for the Salzburg Festival, witnessing firsthand the process of some of the world’s greatest artists, including the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra.

The American Austrian Foundation is proud to have administered this truly unique program since 1998. The list of our distinguished alumni can be found here.
