THOUGHTS FROM PREVIOUS INTERNS

"Working alongside Sugar, Arden, and the rest of the NCP team was the perfect introduction to NYC’s new music and arts administration scene. This ensemble exudes exemplary work, dedication, and professionalism in presenting important music and ideas at the forefront of classical music today. So being a part of that, from the small but crucial administrative tasks, to the big, publicly visible concert productions and promotions, was the vital next step of my education."

"Interning for NCP introduced me to the vibrant new music community in NYC and hands-on experience with essential production skills. Having these connections and tools directly lead to a job in concert production at a major institution. I am so grateful to NCP for the support and education they gave me during my internship."
