Orchestra Workshop
March 5, 2026
Orchestra Workshop

During Orquestra's XXI Easter tour, a group of young musicians will be invited to participate in a day of rehearsals in which each student will work directly with a member of the orchestra as a fellow musician. Orchestra XXI thus aims to offer young music students the opportunity to play in an ensemble with high standards and to join a network of contacts that will allow them to stay informed about training and work opportunities abroad, in addition to a deeply enriching personal contact.


During an intensive day of work, students will have the opportunity to participate in section rehearsals led by orchestra musicians and tutti rehearsals, culminating in a short performance of the repertoire they have worked on. The Orchestra XXI Workshop is aimed at young music students who are attending the 10th, 11th and 12th years of schooling (6th, 7th and 8th grades), and will be dedicated to Felix Mendelssohn's Symphony No. 5.

This initiative will take place on the 31st of March 2026, in Viseu, and applications must be submitted using the form available below by 15 March. Although optional, the submission of an audio or video recording (repertoire of your choice) will be given priority. Participation in the workshop is free of charge, as is lunch on that day, but Orquestra XXI does not contribute to travel expenses.
