YOUNG BLOOD or MUSIC FROM UP CLOSE I.

The Orchestral Academy of the Brno Philharmonic (OAFB) is a project that enables young talented musicians – students or recent graduates of music schools accepted on the basis of a selection procedure – to gain orchestral practice in a professional ensemble. In this way, the Philharmonic is educating new generations of players who may one day join its ranks. The OAFB has been in operation for six seasons and the fruits are already evident: some of its graduates are already members of our orchestra, others return regularly to help out. The importance and value of this experience for the artistic growth of the young musicians and for the future of the orchestra is thus unquestionable.

In recent seasons, the Young Blood series has won over large audiences who appreciate the youthfully engaging performances of the performers, the attractive and varied repertoire, and not least the captivating atmosphere of these concerts, during which the Besední dům hall is intimately lit, atypically arranged, and the musicians are almost within reach, as the subtitle of the Music Up Close series suggests. During the concerts, the barrier of the stage and the evening gown is removed. However, it has become a tradition that former OAFB members or other guests perform at Young Blood concerts.
