Chamber Concert by the DSO Orchestra Academy

Today’s music conservatory graduates are highly trained, technically brilliant, highly motivated, and artistically curious. These are good prerequisites for orchestral musicians—but not enough. Because in addition to mastering their instrument, the profession also requires the ability to become part of a group, to contribute one’s individual musicality to the collective of the orchestra, and to prepare for new repertoire efficiently and in a time-saving manner. After passing an audition, ten young musicians each have the opportunity to prove themselves in practice for two years and to get to know and help shape the work of a professional orchestra: in radio and CD recordings, in symphony and chamber concerts.

The Academy members are supported in all aspects of daily orchestral life by three DSO colleagues—violinist Jakob Encke, cellist Leslie Riva-Ruppert, and double bassist Matthias Hendel—who offer advice and practical assistance. The Academy members participate in workshops to prepare for auditions, receive instruction from the section leaders, and also devote themselves intensively to chamber music—the best school for sensitive musical communication. In June, they will perform together with members of the DSO in a chamber concert
