Recently, Kate Hwang, one of our 2025 Upbeat Artists (Cello), joined The Orchestra Now (TŌN) fellowship program at Bard College, U.S. This program focuses on the professional development of musicians, offering regular orchestral concerts that span a wide variety of compositions, from classical to contemporary. Additionally, TŌN offers weekly mock auditions and masterclasses with renowned artists.

“Being part of Camerata’s Upbeat Artist program helped me become adaptable in a new environment, while also teaching me how to stay proactive in rehearsals and organised in my work. My experience in working on contemporary pieces with Camerata has prepared me to embrace TŌN’s innovative programming with confidence and curiosity”, Kate Hwang.
