INTRADA launches auditions to join its scheme in 2025

Intrada is a Europe-wide, year-long artists development scheme for historically informed orchestral instrumentalists, run by four partner ensembles: B’Rock Orchestra, Concerto Copenhagen, Orchestra of the Eighteenth Century, and Dunedin Consort.

Selected by open audition, a handful of talented young musicians from Europe will be invited to take part in the scheme, which will involve:

The opportunity to play in at least one project, hosted by one of the scheme’s partner ensembles during the course of the year
One-to-one coaching/mentoring from a music director or instrumentalist from one of the scheme’s partner ensembles
Professional development coaching – including Q&As with the music director from at least one of the scheme’s partner ensembles, and advice on subjects such as how to run a small ensemble, marketing and social media, fundraising for individuals, administration, and CV/biography/audition advice
Professional fees for all rehearsals and performances
Accommodation and travel costs covered for all events
The scheme is open to instrumentalists who:
Play on historically set up instruments (this year, strings only)
Are under the age of 35 on 1 January 2025 (born after 1 Jan 1990)
