ACADEMY

Bruckner Orchester Linz

The relocation to the new Linzer State Opera House in 2012/13 brought a large shift in the duties of the Bruckner Orchester Linz as the working orchestra for opera, operetta, ballet, and musicals.

The Orchestral Academy was grounded in the 2013/14 season to give young musicians the chance to gain their first experiences in a professional orchestra. The young members of the Academy are between their studies and their first professional engagement. Through their time in the academy they are integrated into the orchestra and supported through the new “every-day” of being a professional musician. In a close collaboration between the Anton Bruckner Private University and the Bruckner Orchester Linz the young academy musician is also supported through a tutor programme, where experienced members of the orchestra provide not only advice but also lessons.

Under their mentors, academy musicians prepare the current repertoire for performance as well as having specialised training for auditions and opportunities to play chamber music in many different ensembles.
