More about MFA Symphonic Orchestra Performance

The application process for the start of studies in autumn 2024 has closed and the admission process is ongoing. Next time you can apply is Dec 2024 – Jan 2025. Studies start in the autumn of 2025.

"As a former member of the Berliner Philharmoniker and a worldwide active conductor of both opera and concert, I know a thing or two about what a good orchestra musician needs to know and what our students have to learn.

Our excellent instrumental teachers and international conductors work with you and your fellow students in a peer-to-peer learning environment. We believe in empowering each others strengths. We do so by creating a safe and inspiring atmosphere dedicated to your development and growth, not only as an individual musician, but also as part of a collective. 

The Master’s Programme in Orchestra Performance will increase your chances at auditions and during probation time in any professional orchestra around the world immensely."

Henrik Schaefer, artistically responsible during 2015-2023
