The Perlman Music Program has been awarded an Art Works grant from the National Endowment for the Arts. The $50,000 grant will support the Summer Music School on Shelter Island, the organization’s signature program.

The school is a seven-week residency for gifted young musicians who play the violin, viola, cello, and bass. Led by Toby and Itzhak Perlman, the school’s faculty includes professional string musicians from around the country who provide mentorship and coaching. Students have private lessons, ensemble rehearsals, and performance opportunities throughout the summer that are free and open to the public.

The N.E.A. has supported the Perlman Music Program for eight consecutive years. This year’s grant represents a significant increase in funding from previous years.
