Final Concert 2023
Orchestra: Südwestdeutsches Kammerorchester Pforzheim
Conductor: Alexander Mayer
Date: 4.11.2023
There is a list of pieces to choose from. Based on the submitted applications, our professors decide who plays which piece at the final concert. Of course, not all titles are played!
You are also welcome to submit a recording for a work that is not on our list. Most of all we are happy about own compositions!
Requirements for this:
1. The sheet music is available and can be sent to the orchestra in time for the concert.
2. Only string orchestra version (no wind instruments)
Example For an own composition at the final concert 2018
Selection
Please complete and submit the relevant survey. For any questions, contact contact@cello-akademie-rutesheim.de
Schedule
Deadline for submitting the recordings: 23.9.2023
Announcement of the concert program and the soloists: 1.10.2023
Explanations for the recordings:
- In order to be considered for the selection, it is necessary to submit a recording for the respective movement or piece (see selection below).
- All professors will listen to the recording(s).
- Please only YouTube links! These may be "not listed", so they are not visible to the public. Never put videos on "private", otherwise we will not be able to watch the videos.
- Whether the recording is submitted with or without accompaniment (piano, orchestra) is completely irrelevant.
- Smartphone quality is sufficient. So it is sufficient if you just put a smartphone on your music stand and play. The main thing is that we see and hear you well.
- This recording will not be passed on or stored by us. It serves only to select the soloists. You can delete it yourself after announcing the soloists or set them to "private".
- You are welcome to apply for several pieces. This helps us a lot and increases your chances of being selected as a soloist.
So that as many students as possible can take part in the final concert, some works are meaningfully split or shortened (e.g. Rococo).
