By Afton Wooten

The 2024-25 programming for Carnegie Hall’s Weill Music Institute has been announced.

The Weill Music Institute offers more than 15 initiatives for students, educators, and audiences of all ages the chance to explore music and the arts. Most programming is low or no cost to participants. The 2024-25 season runs Oct. to May.

Masterclasses led by Joyce DiDonato, with collaborative pianists Joel Harder and Justina Lee start off the season. Soprano Bridget Esler, mezzo-soprano Michelle Mariposa, tenor Ben Reisinger, and bass Robert Ellsworth Feng have been selected to participate.

Taking place throughout the season is a series of Well-Being Concerts, Musical Explorers events for K-2 students and educators, K-12 music workshops, and family programming including the Lullaby Project. For aspiring and young professional artists, the Weill Music Institute is offering several workshops, masterclasses, and fellowships.

This year’s “In the Justice System” social impact programming features “Musical Connections,” an initiative for men at Sing Sing Correctional Facility to work alongside visiting artists to compose and perform original music through workshops and performances. The “Future Music Project” encourages musicians ages 14–19 in juvenile justice settings to create, perform, and produce their own original music.
