We were thrilled to present the Young Mannheim Symphonists youth orchestra program in Sydney again in 2022, continuing to provide young New South Wales musicians with the opportunity to be part of our unique youth orchestra program.
At the 2022 NSW Intensive, directed by Rachael Beesley and Nicole van Bruggen, emerging artists plunged into masterpieces by Emilie Mayer, Mozart and Beethoven. After four days of workshops, tutorials and orchestral rehearsals, the 2022 NSW Intensive culminated in a public concert, on 23 April, at the Hills Grammar School, Kenthurst, with the Young Mannheim Symphonists performing the repertoire they had prepared throughout the week. Read the concert program.
The Young Mannheim Symphonists directors and tutors are principal musicians of the Australian Romantic & Classical Orchestra – professional musicians who specialise in historically informed performance on period instruments. Their knowledge of musical styles, articulations, and embellishments comes from years of experience performing; reading treatises and studying scores; experimenting with instruments and interpretations; and sharing with their peers and their students. They are passionate about understanding our musical heritage in the context in which it was created, and they are even more passionate about inspiring and enlightening others.
