Do you like to celebrate? Certainly. But a celebration without music? That cannot be! With music, one can celebrate not just a birthday or success at school, but also friendship, nature, a nice moment with parents; or we can just make music for the sheer joy of it. The musicians in the orchestra also like to celebrate. You don’t believe it? Come, the celebration is just starting!

Orchestra Academy of Filharmonie Brno is a project that allows talented young musicians – students or fresh graduates of music schools, who are selected by audition – to gain orchestral experience in a professional ensemble. In this way, the Philharmonic develops the next generation of players who might in the future become its members.During its two-year course, the Academy offers its students not just the possibility of orchestral practice, but also an opportunity to present their abilities in chamber performance, in a concert series entitled Young Blood.

Over the past seasons, the series has earned a substantial audience – music fans appreciate the youthful and engrossing performances, the varied and attractive repertoire, and, last but not least, the enchanting atmosphere of these concerts.

For this occasion, the hall of the Besední dům is intimately lit and offers an unusual seating plan, so that the audience can feel really close to the musicians – as indeed suggested by the series subtitle, Music from nearby. You won’t feel separated from the performers by a platform and there is no need for formal evening dress either.
