In fall of 2017, Collington introduced Artist-in-Residence, a collaborative program created between the University of Maryland and Collington.  Two graduate students from the University of Maryland School of Music live and work as artists-in-residence at Collington.  As part of the program, the students receive room and board at Collington in exchange for performing regularly and organizing additional concerts and educational programs for the senior residents. Now (2020-21) is in its third year, the partnership program has garnered national attention with its recent feature on NBC’s Today Show.
