Many graduates of our first year have already earned positions in renowned orchestras. The recipe for success: the academy members are intensively involved in the rehearsals and concerts of the Dresden Philharmonic Orchestra. This enables them to get to know the special playing culture and the sound ideal of a top orchestra, to work with international conductors and to establish close relationships with colleagues. At the same time, they study in a practice-oriented manner at the Carl Maria von Weber University of Music Dresden.
Kurt Masur Academy
Music is the future! ... has been offering young, talented musicians from Germany and abroad the opportunity to prepare for their future careers within a top orchestra rich in tradition since the 2017/18 season.
› Music means everything in my life! You have to believe in its power and learn to feel it, only then does it reveal all its richness. ‹
Shaping the future
With the Kurt Masur Academy, the Dresden Philharmonic promotes top international young musicians. In the future, it will be these musicians who give new impetus to the Dresden Philharmonic and other orchestras.
Daring to innovate
Only change is constant: with the Kurt Masur Academy, the Dresden Philharmonic Orchestra is opening itself up more than ever to the challenge of carrying its sound ideal and playing culture into the future and giving young musicians the opportunity for their own further development.
Preserving tradition
With its experience, its musical excellence and its deep roots in Dresden's musical tradition, the Dresden Philharmonic accompanies the academy members on their way. Shaping the future on the basis of its own rich tradition and at the same time being open to new ideas - this is essential for the success of the Dresden Philharmonic.
