The peculiar activities of Obiettivo Orchestra: the work of assembly alongside the teachers (by Filarmonica TRT) in formations that go from the row to the whole orchestra to convey an extremely specialized executive know-how, the opportunity to compete in several auditions to become familiar with stressful situations, training with mental coach on issues related to performance anxiety, the individual deepening of the orchestra steps.&#13;
Instrumental ensemble formations will be established that will be involved in different concert seasons external to the project, in order to immediately promote the introduction of the best students to the world of work through paid concerts.</description><pubDate>Fri, 01 Aug 2025 09:15:10 +0100</pubDate><link>https://www.musicalchairs.info/courses/10311?ref=68</link><guid>https://www.musicalchairs.info/courses/10311?ref=68</guid></item><item><title>Portuguese Philharmonic Academy</title><description>Come join our Orchestra Academy, a project by the Portuguese Philharmonic Orchestra (OFP), that will take place in Guarda, Portugal.&#13;
