OAcademy Music Conservatory Announces Global Auditions
OAcademy Music Conservatory opens applications to its four Artist Diploma fellowship programs for rising orchestral musicians, concert pianists, conductors, and composers. Starting in January 2024, 120+ fellows across these disciplines will take part in the OAcademy experience.
Orchestra Institute
Orchestra Institute fellows train for six months with leading iconic instrumentalists including Yo-Yo Ma, Augustin Hadelich, Evelyn Glennie, with conductors like Marin Alsop, Rafael Payare, and Simone Young, and receive coaching from principals of the world’s most renowned orchestras, including the Berlin Philharmonic, Royal Concertgebouw, MET Opera Orchestra, Mahler Chamber Orchestra, and more.
Piano, Conducting, & Composing Fellowships
Gabriela Ortiz, the first Latin American composer performed by the Berlin Phil, leads OAcademy’s Composing Studio, enhanced by a range of today’s leading composers from Andrew Norman to Missy Mazzoli.
Latin GRAMMY winner and Chopin competition medalist Gabriela Montero guides rising pianists in OAcademy’s Piano Lab, which pairs intensive mentorship with in-person residencies for fellows in Switzerland and the United States.
Carlos Miguel Prieto, one of today’s most respected and admired conductors, joins top podium leaders to mentor emerging music directors in OAcademy’s Conducting Fellowship.
Hybrid Learning Environment
Unique among music conservatories, OAcademy combines the best of distributed and in-person learning environments. Through its online global classroom, fellows train with the leading artists of today alongside colleagues from all over the world. This reach is complemented by intensive in-person residencies that gather Fellows and Faculty in various international locations. 2024 Orchestra Institute meets and performs in residencies in Mexico and the United States, while Piano Lab fellows gather in Switzerland and the United States with mentor Gabriela Montero. Gabriela Ortiz leads a residency with Composing Fellows in the United States, while Conducting Fellows travel on individual field assignments to work with global orchestras connected to their career goals. Through its combined focus on global resources and local impact, OAcademy Music Conservatory prepares fellows for real-world artists leadership opportunities at home and abroad.
