Orchestra Academy of the Munich Philharmonic

Currently, up to 18 young musicians, selected through auditions, receive monthly scholarships in the Orchestra Academy of the Munich Philharmonic. For two years, they intensify their training and are taught by orchestra members. Participating in rehearsals and concerts of the Munich Philharmonic Orchestra under the direction of renowned conductors gives the young musicians valuable practical experience and teaches them to blend into one large body of sound in an orchestra. Chamber concerts by the young musicians form another platform for them to present themselves to the audience. The training is supplemented by classes in the Alexander technique.

In 2009, the Orchestra Academy of the Munich Philharmonic received the sponsorship award of the Hauck & Aufhäuser Cultural Foundation.

Alexander technique

The scholarship holders have regular classes in the Alexander technique in order to prevent for example physical ailments and to expand tonal possibilities. more
