“I wish every musician I know could take part in CSI. It’s rare to encounter a program that pushes people to work so hard and mindfully and to come out of the other side feeling replenished. The Fellowship of the Song has empowered me as a performer and curious mind and I can’t wait to share everything I've learned in future concert programs.”
2025 Fellow
“As someone who’s attended multiple young-artist programs focused on song, I can say the level of coaching and performance was highest at CSI. My time at the program pushed me to my artistic limit and help me to uncover new dimensions in my playing. Feeling inspired and refreshed after this week in Cincinnati. Thank you CSI team, and can’t wait to see what the future holds for this festival!”
