To apply for the orchestra specialisation, send an email to Lukas Huisman at lukas.huisman@hogent.be, stating:
- your instrument;
- the date, title and content of your most recently obtained relevant degree;
- which session of the orientation test you would like to take part in (see below);
- your contact details;
- a statement that you wish to register for the audition for the orchestra specialisation.
You will then receive information about the auditions in MIRY Concert Hall.
The specialisation is open to Master 1 and Master 2 students. Selection takes place via an audition. 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
- 1 flute
- 1 oboe
- 1 trumpet
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.
We'll publish the orchestral excerpts soon.
The orchestral excerpts that must be prepared for the audition can be found below. We may not request every excerpt during the audition, but we do expect you to thoroughly prepare all of the listed material.
