The EUYO Ferrara Chamber Academy focuses on chamber music teaching and performance, and includes an interesting pan-European and national element in the combining of professional and young players from Europe and the EU as both teachers and performers, as well as specific opportunities for young Italian musicians as part of the Orchestra's new residency and home in Italy.
As part of the Academy Chamber Orchestra of Europe musicians teach, mentor and perform with EUYO players, who in turn teach, mentor and play with young Italian musicians selected from an open call out, all three groups living and working together in Ferrara. The Academy thus not only helps to develop the chamber music and ensemble skills of the EUYO, but also to further the EUYO’s mission to contribute to the development of young Italian musicians as part of the Orchestra’s new home in Italy.
