The Artist Diploma is the highest level performance program at NEC, and focuses on developing both the artistry and professionalism of gifted young musicians. We offer two Artist Diplomas: the Artist Diploma for Solo Performers, and the Artist Diploma in Opera in partnership with Opera Boston.
Candidates for either Artist Diploma possess not only great talent, but also the ability and determination to realize that talent in the contemporary musical world. They may have already embarked on performing careers or may be on the brink of such careers. Students enrolled in this program receive full tuition remission and a modest stipend.
The two-year program is tailored to the participant's individual needs. Working in close collaboration with studio faculty and advisors, Artist Diploma students focus on performance, deepening their artistry in close collaboration with master teachers. Some will also want to enhance their education through studies of music theory, languages, etc., while others will want to begin practical preparations for careers to which their talents have led.
In each case, participants have opportunities to reflect on their music, to enjoy the support of an educational environment, and to feel the freedom to create their music
