The non-profit organisation Orchesterakademie Sinfonieorchester Wuppertal e. V. has been in existence since 2019. With the Orchestra Academy, the Wuppertal Symphony Orchestra now enables selected university students to gain valuable professional experience in a professional orchestra. This practical experience greatly increases the students' chances of gaining employment in an orchestra after the academy. The academy comprises several modules that include lessons, audition training, mental training and chamber music, among other things. A monthly stipend of 800 euros is paid for this scholarship. A current proof of enrolment is required to apply. Please note that no travelling or accommodation costs will be covered for participation in the audition. An audition date will be added shortly.
On-site auditions are usually possible from 2 hours before the start of the audition. Please note that we do not cover any travelling or accommodation costs. This also applies to travelling piano accompanists.
