The Young Mannheim Symphonists 2021 Queensland Intensive, presented by the Australian Romantic & Classical Orchestra and directed by Rachael Beesley and Nicole van Bruggen, took place from 13-17 April 2021 at St Peters Lutheran College, Brisbane.
The 2021 Queensland Intensive culminated in a concert in which the Young Mannheim Symphonists performed the repertoire they had prepared throughout the week. The concert, performed in front of a live audience in the auditorium of St Peters Lutheran College was directed by Rachael Beesley and included works by Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven. The energy on stage was palpable and the orchestra played with vigour, passion and intensity, bringing the knowledge and insights they had gained from the historically informed workshops and rehearsals to life.
Three musicians from the orchestra introduced the pieces with passion and conviction and the audience was overwhelmed by the level these students achieved in just four days of rehearsals. Attended by leading educators, teachers, friends and families, the young musicians were inspired to perform at their best.
At the 2021 QLD Intensive, successful applicants spent four days participating in workshops, tutorials and orchestral rehearsals. The students were mentored and tutored by principal musicians of the Australian Romantic & Classical Orchestra - professional musicians who specialise in historically informed performance on period instruments - some of whom rehearsed and performed alongside them in the orchestra. Their knowledge of musical styles, articulations, and embellishments comes from years of experience performing; reading treatises and studying scores; experimenting with instruments and interpretations; and sharing with their peers and their students. They are passionate about understanding our musical heritage in the context in which it was created, and they are even more passionate about inspiring and enlightening others.
