Ticino Musica Festival Orchester 2022

Orchestrer Academy

18. – 30. Juli 2022, Lugano (Schweiz)

Dirigent

Im Rahmen der Feierlichkeiten zum 25-jährigen Bestehen des Festivals lanciert Ticino Musica die erste Ausgabe des Ticino Musica Festival Orchestra unter der Leitung von Alexander Shelley.

Im Sinne von Ticino Musica konzentriert sich das Projekt auf die Zusammenarbeit und den gegenseitigen Austausch zwischen großen internationalen Künstlern und talentierten Musikern am Anfang ihrer Karriere, um eine beruflich prägende und künstlerisch hochstehende Erfahrung zu ermöglichen.

Vor einer Kulisse, die zu den schönsten Landschaften Europas gehört, spielt und interpretiert das Orchester während der zwei Wochen des Festivals zwei Programme mit klassischen und zeitgenössischen Meisterwerken.

'Ticino Musica was a formative place for me. Whether it was working alongside my great teacher Johannes Goritzki, attending composition classes with George Crumb, playing in various chamber ensembles with brilliantly talented colleagues, or listening to the many fine teaching artists in performance, I owe a debt of gratitude to the atmosphere of adventure and musical joy that this festival represents. As such I am thrilled to be leading the first Ticino Musica Festival Orchestra (Orchestral Academy) in celebration of the 25th anniversary of the institution. In our work together we will explore the techniques and mindset involved in becoming a leading orchestral musician and apply them to repertoire that extends from the classics to the present day. I look forward to creating an ensemble that works hard to develop the precision and focus required for the structured spontaneity that all musicians aspire to in performance. We are looking for applications from advanced instrumentalists who are passionate about a career in orchestral music and eager to rehearse and perform at a top professional level. Together we will prepare classic symphonies as well as virtuosic contemporary orchestral works and will also accompany some of the fine faculty of Ticino Musica in concertos for multiple instruments. This will be a great opportunity to learn about the inner workings of an ensemble as we build a new orchestra together in an idyllic setting. I look forward greatly to welcoming you and to working alongside you!'
