The Australian Romantic & Classical Orchestra has just presented its Young Mannheim Symphonists program, now for the second time in Brisbane, providing young Queensland musicians with the opportunity to be part of its unique youth orchestra initiative.
The 2022 QLD Intensive at St Peters Lutheran College in Indooroopilly from 10–14 April was directed by orchestra co-artistic directors, Rachael Beesley from Melbourne, and Nicole van Bruggen from Brisbane. Participants plunged into masterpieces by Emilie Mayer, Mozart and Beethoven and – after four days of workshops, tutorials and orchestral rehearsals – performed a public concert showcasing the incredibly ambitious repertoire they had prepared throughout the week.
