Every year, Worldstrides hosts an event called the Honors Performance Series for middle school, high school, and young adult musicians. Candidates are nominated by music professionals to apply for the program. These candidates then prepare an audition and complete a written application.

These students - (l to r) Emily, Amelia, Maddie, Bennett, Zoe, and Caroline - are now eligible to attend the Honors Performance Series in Carnegie Hall in New York City in February. During this week-long trip, students will interact with industry professionals, guest speakers and conductors, and other students from all around the world.
