Heritage Festivals is excited to announce its partnership with Field Studies, a unique performing organization that has been providing students with the chance to perform in Carnegie Hall since 1991. This partnership will now allow groups traveling with Heritage Festivals the opportunity to audition to perform at this celebrated venue.

We are proud to unveil the Elite Performance Series by combining Festival at Carnegie Hall with the Festival of Gold Series, a long-standing and successful Heritage Festivals elite opportunity. Participation in the Elite Performance Series is available to students who have attended a regular Heritage festival and achieved a Gold or Superior rating, or by audition. These prestigious festivals are designed to offer talented ensembles the chance to celebrate musical artistry in some of the premier performance venues across the nation.
