Faculty

At the heart of OAcademy’s performance instruction is the Studio Faculty; it consists of world-class musicians from orchestras, such as the Metropolitan Opera and the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, that guide the learning journey for Orchestra Institute Fellows through group and individual lessons. Throughout the classes, Fellows work on technical development, target core instrumental and orchestral repertoire, receive guidance on orchestral audition preparation, and prepare towards their performances assignments within the OAcademy curriculum, including Orchestral Audition and Performance Jury.

Using the benefits of blended learning, OAcademy Fellows get the opportunity to learn weekly from a pool of +200 faculty, connecting on the same day with tutors from the Berlin Philharmonic and the LA Philharmonic. Iconic soloists work with Fellows on interpretation and technique, while hand-picked guest conductors share insights on repertoire.
