Orchestra Week 2025: Best of classical, rock & pop

The offer is aimed at music-loving children and young people between the ages of 7 and 19 who have been taking instrumental lessons for at least two years, practice almost every day and have a really good handle on their instrument. Experience with an orchestra or ensemble is an advantage, but the focus is on having fun making music together and getting to know professional rehearsals. The young talents are supported by pedagogically experienced professional musicians during the preliminary rehearsals in small groups as well as the large orchestral rehearsals and concerts under the direction of Elisabeth Fuchs.
The highlight of the week is a final concert in St. Paul's Church.

instruments: Violin, viola, cello and double bass, flute, clarinet
Costs: €189 per child for the entire week including food
