The Outreach Program offers fellows the opportunity to perform at events in and around Litchfield County. Outreach is an imporant part of the Norfolk experience, spreading the Festival and School's artistic resources throughout the region and providing supplemental performance and educational experience. In the past, fellows have performed recitals for local schools, camps, senior centers as well as other community organizations. All those accepted to the School receive an Ellen Battell Stoeckel Fellowship covering tuition for their period of study. As part of every fellowship award, each fellow is responsible for assisting the School and Festival by devoting up to two hours each week to a work-study assignment.
Fellows serve as ushers at concerts, assist on stage crews, and help in the office.
Assignments do not conflict with rehearsal and performance schedules. The Meal plan is required for all students. Cooking facilities are not provided in housing. Refundable at conclusion of session. The seventy-acre Ellen Battell Stoeckel Estate is the summer home of the Festival and School.
