Free admission, no tickets required. The National Performing Arts College Fair is designed for college-bound students interested in pursuing undergraduate and graduate programs of study in various art forms, but particularly in music. Attendees will learn more about educational and career opportunities, admission and financial aid, and audition and entrance requirements, and will meet with representatives from colleges, universities, conservatories, festivals, and other educational institutions around the country. High school students from the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area are invited to apply for the NSO Young Associates' Program to learn more about the National Symphony Orchestra, life as a professional musician, and the business of arts management. Because of the rehearsal schedule of the orchestra, most of the meetings of this program take place during the school day.
Selection process is by application.
