Sterling Elliott
Five musicians have been announced as the recipients of the 2021 Avery Fisher Career Grants.
The recipients are cellists Sterling Elliott and Oliver Herbert; violinists Geneva Lewis and Kevin Zhu; and pianist Eric Lu. Each receives an award of $25,000 to be used for specific needs in advancing a career.
The Avery Fisher Artist Program, established by the late Avery Fisher in 1974, is intended to help young artists in the early stages of their careers. The Program, supporting instrumentalists and chamber ensembles who must be US citizens or permanent US residents, provides recognition in two categories: Career Grants, given annually, and the Prize, given less frequently as the highest form of recognition for excellence and contributions to classical music.
