Meet our academy students
A new crop of academy students is embarking on their season ‘in house’ with the Concertgebouw Orchestra. The Academy is a bridge between the conservatory and the professional music world. The programme also serves as a pool from which the Concertgebouw Orchestra itself can draw.

The young musicians perform in orchestral productions accompanied by mentors from the orchestra’s ranks, they take part in masterclasses and training courses, they receive mental and physical coaching, and perform chamber music concerts at unique locations.
This season’s programme includes a masterclass by Klaus Mäkelä, a media training by Floris Kortie and chamber concerts in Bloemendaal, Maarn and Voorschoten in the spring. Several Academy participants will be coming along on the tours to Asia.

Through the Academy, the Concertgebouw Orchestra is handing down an important tradition. No fewer than fifteen former Academy students are now fully fledged members of the Concertgebouw Orchestra.
The Academy is made possible by the Foundation Concertgebouworkest, which receives donations from Ammodo, the Dutch Masters Foundation, the Swiss Friends of the Concertgebouw Orchestra, the Don Quixote Foundation, De Salon, private donors and a number of commemorative funds.
