Janáček Philharmonic Orchestra: Audition for International Orchestral Academy

Janáček Philharmonic, based in Ostrava is one of the leading symphonic orchestras of the Czech Republic. Long orchestral tradition, typical bohemian sound and progressive repertoire are very much praised both by local audience and international reviewers. Excellence in performing not only Janáček, but most of the late-romantic to contemporary repertoire is one of the orchestra ‘s strengths. In 2019-20 the orchestra collaborates with guest conductors such as Stanislav Kochanowski, Lionel Bringuier, Daniel Raiskin, Lukasz Borowicz, Risto Joost, Gabriel Bebeselea, Dimitrij Jurowsky and soloists such as Sergei Babayan, Steven Isserlis, Alena Baeva, Johannes Moser and Frederico Colli.

The International Orchestral Academy (IOA) is suitable especially for students and graduates of music performance programmes at university level. The internship is unpaid is hence highly recommended for Erasmus+ recipients.
Trainees will gain hands-on orchestral experience in professional orchestra, taking part in most of the orchestra performances (subscription concerts, touring projects both locally and internationally).
