LIO Orchestra Academy
Summer 2022
Since its foundation in 2012, the Ljubljana International Orchestra has brought together outstanding young musicians, renowned professors, conductors and soloists. It has successfully performed in Slovenia, Italy, Austria, Croatia, Serbia, the United Kingdom and Spain. Musicians from more than thirty-five different countries, cultures and social classes meet yearly to prepare and perform symphonic music. They receive intensive coaching and gain invaluable experience playing side-by-side with some of the world’s most respected orchestral musicians, drawn from Europe’s leading orchestras. Diversity and multicultural dialogue are what spur the orchestra to excellence.
LIO is part of the European Project Sound of Change.
Sounds of Change activities include four annual cycles where selected artists will face the opportunity to have professional development experiences at the orchestra academy, focusing not only on the training for musical skills and personal and professional growth but also on complementary levels of contact with professional music festivals and venues promoting opportunities and substantial working experience. The first and second cycles will follow a classic orchestra academy, with the performance of an original piece by a European composer. At the same time, the performative layers will be developed for the last two cycles.
