Youths aged 14 to 24

The young musicians who make up the orchestra, aged between 14 and 24, study at the Orchestral Studies Academy of the Barenboim-Said Foundation, affiliated with the Ministry of Culture and Sport. From December 20th to 28th, they will prepare the repertoire for these concerts in an orchestral workshop with an intense work plan under the guidance of the Academy's teaching staff, one of the main projects developed in Andalusia by the Barenboim-Said Foundation. At the Academy, students receive instrumental and artistic training throughout the course from a renowned team of teachers comprised of international soloists and members of major European orchestras: Berlin Philharmonic, Berlin Staatskapelle, Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra, National Orchestra of Spain, and the Concertgebouw Orchestra of Amsterdam, among others.
