Phoebe, who has dazzled NSW musical judges and audiences with her violin virtuoso, received a scholarship to follow the Perlman Music Program's summer school from June 30-August 18.
The program is a dream come true for the gifted violinist and composer who is just one of 40 musicians chosen from around the world.
"It will be a great experience to perform with some of the best musicians in the world," Phoebe, 15, of Kellyville, said.
"I am really excited to be attending as I eventually hope to study music overseas.
"I am also working on my latest composition, which I hope to take to the New York workshop."
Phoebe said one of her highlights last year was being a recitalist at the National Youth Concerto in Brisbane last year.
Phoebe and her younger sister Mitzi, have scooped up several gold medals at previous Sydney Eisteddfods. However, Phoebe will be forced skip this year's eisteddfod due to the trip.
Phoebe is also a semi-finalist in the FM102.5 Fine Music Young Performer of the Year event, having been runner-up last year.
She has been playing the violin since she was four and received a scholarship from the Sydney Conservatorium of Music.
