Individual Lessons / Workshops / Concerts
Applications are now open for the 15th edition of the Sinfonia Varsovia Academy for the 2026/27 season. This year, we invite students and graduates of music academies specialising in flute, oboe, clarinet, bassoon, horn, violin, viola, cello, and double bass to take part in the qualifying auditions.
Eligibility: Applicants must be under the age of 27 on 31 December 2026.
The fifteenth edition of the Academy comprises five projects for participants (dates to be announced in due course), as well as opportunities to participate in Sinfonia Varsovia’s concerts and recordings.
Full availability is required during these projects. In exceptional circumstances, absence from a maximum of one project may be permitted.
Auditions will take place from 4–6 March 2026 at Sinfonia Varsovia’s headquarters, ul. Grochowska 272, Warsaw.
The Academy runs as an artistic season divided into two semesters.
Individual Lessons: Participants arrange these directly with their tutors. Each participant is entitled to 6 lessons (45 minutes each) in the first semester and 10 lessons (45 minutes each) in the second semester.
Group Activities: Workshops, rehearsals, public concerts, and mock auditions are held as part of the five scheduled projects.
Accommodation: Participants are responsible for arranging their own accommodation during the projects. In some cases, the Organiser may be able to assist upon request.
Professional Experience: Beyond the five projects, participants may be invited to perform in concerts and recording sessions as extra musicians for a fee.
Participant Testimonial: As a participant from a previous edition put it:
“The project gave me a unique chance to gain first-hand insight into the work of a professional orchestra. The concerts I was able to take part in with Sinfonia Varsovia were fascinating, and the classes supplemented the knowledge I gained during my studies.”
