This is the eighth season of the NFM Orchestra Academy, a project whose aim is to professionally prepare young musicians to work in orchestras. We invite you to the April open rehearsal of the orchestra composed of participants of this year’s edition.

One of the elements of the all-season workshops are orchestral classes, giving participants a chance to learn about a wide range of orchestral repertoire and to transform the knowledge gained during individual and sectional classes into experience. It is also an opportunity to cooperate with top-notch musicians. The April orchestra classes will be conducted by Bassem Akiki – in 2018-2019 Artistic Director of the Silesian Opera and in 2020-2022 Music Director of the Wrocław Opera. Participants of the NFM Orchestral Academy will work under his direction on Symphony No. 7 in A major op. 92 by Ludwig van Beethoven.

For several years now, the NFM Orchestral Academy has been giving you the opportunity to observe the creative process that takes place during a rehearsal of a professional orchestra – a process that usually results in a concert. The fragment of the rehearsal, in which you will participate on Sunday, is the last hour of joint work of the musicians and the leader, planned for a total of six hours and starting the day before. Feel invited, as your presence will become an additional motivation for the young people and a catalyst for releasing their emotions, without which it is difficult to talk about real art.

The Open Rehearsal will last 60 minutes without intermission.
