An innovative initiative designed to provide young musicians with hands-on experience in the professional recording process. This prestigious fellowship consists of immersive residencies, culminating in live recording session / concerts.

The residencies feature a structured three-day program:

• Days 1 & 2: Rehearsals, musical coaching, a step-by-step introduction to recording techniques & video setup.

• Day 3: Artist interviews and audience-oriented recordings, offering audiences an inside look at the production process.

These first fellowships were awarded to two ESYO alums who were both winners of ESYO’s Lois Lyman Concerto Competition in 2019/20 and 2023.

The first event will feature “The 242 Strings” a piano quartet performing Richard Strauss’ Piano Quartet in C minor, Op. 13 and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s Piano Quartet No. 1 in G minor, K. 478. Having already performed these works at Jordan Hall in Boston the weekend prior, the musicians will arrive at L’Atelier Musical primed for an inspired recording session.

The second event will showcase pianist Will Lauricella
(ESYO alum, Lois Lyman Concerto Competition winner 2019 & 2020), performing

Joseph Haydn Keyboard Sonata in F Major, Hob. XVI: F3 “Bozner”,
Frédéric Chopin Scherzo No. 3 in C-sharp Minor, op. 39 and
Ludwig Van Beethoven Piano Sonata No. 23 in F Minor, op. 57 “Appassionata”

The recordings produced through this fellowship will serve as a valuable resource for these emerging artists, supporting their musical development and future careers.

This initiative is a collaboration between
Etienne Abelin, Music Director & Symphony Orchestra Conductor at ESYO;
David Bebe, Associate Music Director of CHIME & Chamber Music; and
Patrick Lo Re, Acoustician, Recording Engineer & Founder of L’Atelier Musical.
