In addition to the masterclasses, the workshop will include reading session of orchestral repertoire, small ensembles, brass ensembles and many lectures on topic related to the musician life. Ensembles will be formed on site, but pre-formed groups are welcome to apply as well. Each ensemble will contribute to the final concert.
