The specialisation is open to Master 1 and Master 2 students. Selection takes place via an audition, scheduled for Friday 27 June 2025. Only students who meet the professional standards of the orchestra will be admitted.
The first edition targets five students across four instrument groups:
- 2 violins — participation in four productions
- 1 bassoon — participation in four productions, two of which are partial
- 1 oboe — participation in four productions, two of which are partial
- 1 percussion — participation in two productions (Mahler 4 and The Lord of the Rings)
The students are integrated into the orchestra section as full members and receive coaching before, during, and after each production. In addition, they are awarded 9 ECTS credits, which are part of their curriculum. Symfonieorkest Vlaanderen also provides reimbursement for expenses.
