Concerto Köln announces the first CK Orchester Akademie!

Aiming at sustainability, Concerto Köln decided to invest in local musicians and take an active part in the education of today’s students, who will be tomorrow’s orchestra members. Within the frame of the “Neustart Kultur” programme, initiated by the Beauftragte der Bundesregierung für Kultur und Medien (BKM), we are happy to offer 16 academist positions to students enrolled in universities of Nordrhein-Westfalen.

The academists will be involved in a project that will take place from the 10th to the 18th of October, consisting of a series of rehearsals culminating in a concert that will be held at the Rautenstrauch-Joest Museum of Köln, with a programme based on romantic repertoire. In view of this, the students will be invited to have intensive preparatory coaching sessions with our romantic performance practice experts Shunske Sato (upper strings), and Davit Melkonyan (lower strings).

Academists will be paid the same as regular members of the orchestra.

Applications are open until May 28th.

For any questions, please contact us at akademist.innen@concerto-koeln.de
