Netherlands Philharmonic & Netherlands Chamber Orchestra Academy
The Academy of the Netherlands Philharmonic & Netherlands Chamber Orchestra is a unique academy. Since 2012 many young musicians have had the opportunity to perform in our symphony orchestra or our chamber orchestra. Each of these two orchestras has its own dynamics, repertoire and culture, asking the musicians to fulfill very different roles. Offering young musicians the dynamic of rehearsals or performances on the stage of the Concertgebouw or in the orchestra pit of the National Opera is very important. Academist will also take part in educational projects and chamber music concerts. We also organize coaching to meet the challenge of an audition. We offer an important bridge between their studies and a future life as a professional musician.
