Abschlusskonzert der Orchesterakademie

Musical Direction: Vinzenz Praxmarer

In cooperation with the State of Tyrol.

From 31 August to 5 September 2025, the Tirol Orchestra Academy 2025 will take place at the Festspielhaus Erl – at an extraordinary venue known for its impressive architecture, outstanding acoustics and distinctive concert hall. The Festspielhaus has been attracting musicians from all over the world for years and offers optimal conditions for concentrated work at the highest artistic level.

In this inspiring environment, the young musicians can expect an intensive week full of rehearsal work, musical deepening and artistic exchange. The academy not only provides space for technical refinement, but also promotes personal development and the shared experience of professional orchestral music – an experience that will provide lasting impulses. The highlight is the final concert with an attractive programme in which what has been worked on during the academy will be presented. A great moment for the young artists and the audience!
