Working life experience and other projects for orchestra students

Students have plenty of opportunities to play in various situations and to integrate these projects into their studies.

Auditions

Repertoire is regularly selected for orchestra periods, which also offers soloist assignments to students. The aim is to design the repertoire so that the representatives of different instrument groups have access to soloist assignments. Soloists are mainly selected through auditions. In addition, auditions for orchestra musicians are organised for special projects and apprenticeship training as needed. Auditions and audition assignments are reported in the Teams subject groups of the department, in the OPAS system and by email.

Apprenticeship

Both HKO and RSO annually select students from the Sibelius Academy’s orchestral instruments as apprentices, who can participate in orchestra activities under the supervision of professional musicians. The aim is to provide students with valuable working life experience.

The apprenticeship training for wind instrument musicians is also organised in cooperation with Tapiola Sinfonietta and the Finnish National Opera.
