NOSPR Academy - NOSPR

NOSPR Academy
The NOSPR Academy is an original scholarship and mentoring program that prepares young musicians to play with an orchestra and to function in the realities of the contemporary music market.
It is addressed to violinists, violists, cellists and double bass players between 18 and 30 years of age who want to gain orchestral experience alongside musicians of one of the most renowned Polish symphonic orchestras.
The NOSPR Academy includes individual lessons with NOSPR musicians and the care of mentors – leaders of individual sections of the orchestra. In addition, program participants will have the opportunity to learn about the organizational functioning of the institution. They will be able to use this knowledge during preparations for the June chamber concert of the Young Stage series, which they will be responsible for organizing and programming.
