TŌN is a unique pre-professional orchestra that combines performance with rigorous study of the humanities, inspiring musicians to become creative ambassadors of classical music.
TŌN offers both a 3-year master of music degree program and a 2-year advanced certificate program. Musicians in both tracks receive advanced orchestral training and take graduate-level courses in orchestral and curatorial studies. Developed by the conductor Leon Botstein in partnership with professional musicians, teachers, and professional orchestra administrators, TŌN offers students the kind of experience they might expect as career orchestral musicians—public performance, touring, recording—and something more.
