ABOUT TŌN
Founded in 2015, TŌN is a graduate program of Bard College that is training the next generation of music professionals to become creative ambassadors of classical music, offering a full-tuition fellowship toward a master’s degree in curatorial, critical, and performance studies or an advanced certificate in orchestra studies.
TŌN’s signature Sight & Sound series reflects the interdisciplinary character of the orchestra’s academic curriculum, presenting visual art in conjunction with pieces of music that are connected by related themes. Each performance includes a discussion with conductor and music historian Leon Botstein accompanied by on-screen exhibition images and live musical excerpts, followed by a full performance of the works and an audience Q&A.
