Several days of rehearsal directed by renowned music conductors culminate in what is described as a life-changing performance in Carnegie Hall, which represents excellence in musical performance.

The series challenges the selected students to perform at their best and gives them the opportunity to perform before invited representatives from collegiate and professional music programs.
