The Brno Philharmonic Orchestral Academy 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 five 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.
The two-year tenure of the OAFB, however, offers its members not only the opportunity for orchestral practice, but also the opportunity to present their skills in chamber music in a concert series called Young Blood. In recent seasons, the series has won over a large audience, which appreciates the youthfully engaging performances of the performers, the attractive and varied repertoire and, last but not least, the captivating atmosphere of these concerts, during which the Besední dům hall is intimately lit and atypically arranged and the musicians are almost within reach, as the subtitle of the series Music Up Close suggests. During the concerts, the barrier of the stage and the evening gown is removed.
