Participants awarded an Orchestra Fellowship receive a full fellowship covering all tuition and housing costs. Fellowship students serve as the primary musicians for all MMF Opera Institute productions, Conducting Institute concerts, and the annual Independence Day Symphony Concert & Fireworks Show.
Orchestra members will perform in several unique multimedia performances using MMF's groundbreaking Immersion Technology. MMF will present a full symphony concert and select opera productions in our innovative projection mapping technology to immerse audiences in a continuous 360-degree graphic display, bringing the music to life as they interact with performers and other production elements. MMF is the first live theater company to design and present an entire opera in a fully immersive theater setting.
Highlights from MMF’s Immersive Productions.

Photos of Performances: MMF will take photos of dress rehearsals, performances, and sometimes staging or music rehearsals. The items can and will be used for promotion of concerts and in future advertisements. MMF will give you access to all official photos taken at the festival by our staff after the conclusion of the festival. These photos will be watermarked with the MMF Logo. You are welcome to use these photos for social media, website, or other self-promotional use. However, you may not alter, crop, or remove the MMF official logo from the photo.
