Jointly branded Apogee-Aurience productions will focus on developing new levels of appreciation for, and participation in, the life and work of elite performing artists.

Apogee's three major program divisions, Apogee Awards, Apogee Academy and Apogee Artists, are designed respectively to identify and support, develop and promote the world's most gifted emerging artists. Aurience's media and technology enhancements will be integrated into the ongoing expansion of each of these program areas, building on the Foundation's historic record of innovation by:

- broadening exposure of Apogee Awards programs and laureates;

- making Apogee Academy training programs and materials widely accessible; and

- transforming Apogee Artists events into global showcases for the world's most gifted emerging artists.
