Ticino Musica Festival Orchestra 2022

Orchestral Academy

18 – 30 luglio 2022, Lugano (Svizzera)

Direttore

Sulla scia dei festeggiamenti per il 25° anniversario del Festival, Ticino Musica lancia la prima edizione della Ticino Musica Festival Orchestra, diretta da Alexander Shelley.

Nello spirito di Ticino Musica, il progetto è incentrato sulla collaborazione e sullo scambio reciproco tra grandi artisti internazionali e talentuosi musicisti ad inizio carriera, al fine di offrire un'opportunità per un’esperienza sia professionalmente formativa, che artisticamente di altissimo livello.

In un contesto che regala alcuni degli scenari più belli d’Europa, nel corso delle due settimane del Festival l’orchestra esegue ed interpreta due programmi di capolavori classici e contemporanei.

'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!'
