Philharmonic day – RSPO Orchestra Academy

Since 2016, the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra (RSPO) offers one year of training on site at Konserthuset Stockholm. The RSPO Orchestra Academy aims to give participating musicians heightened knowledge and understanding of the profession. The young musicians receive individual tuition on their instrument by tutors that are predominantly leaders and principals of the orchestra.

In addition, extensive chamber music playing is a vital part of the course. In this concert, they perform music by Jörgen Häll, Swedish composer born in 1986. His work Rifted is composed for ensemble and live electronics – that is, electronic sounds that interact with what the musicians do on stage.
