INFORMATION

The YOCPA Project Youth Orchestra & Choir Professional Academies and Jordi Savall are opening a new Call for Instrumental Auditions for their artistic programme 2025-2028.

The chosen candidates will have the opportunity to participate in projects with Le Concert des Nations, conducted by Jordi Savall.

The YOCPA project, Youth Orchestra and Choir Professional Academies, is a program led by the International Ancient Music Centre (CIMA Foundation) and co-funded by the European Union. The project is about giving training and working opportunities to new generations of musicians, supporting them to reach the professional concert scene in Europe. The program combines the pedagogical work of professional experts (teachers) with the learning experience of emerging musicians (students) through academies that take place face to face and online.

REQUIREMENTS

• Musicians up to 39 years old at the moment of sending the application.
• Complete and submit the Application Form. This includes filming yourself playing specific pieces, which you can find here: Mandatory Pieces.
• Understand the working conditions of the YOCPA project. Every academy is divided in two parts: academy of preparation and academy of perfection.

According to the terms and conditions of our agreement with the European Union, the academies of preparation are considered training days. These days are NOT remunerated. On the other hand, the academies of perfection are FULLY remunerated. Concerts are considered working days and therefore they are also remunerated.

The deadline to submit the application is December 20th, 2024 at 19:00h (CET).  

We will make a preselection of the applicants, and we will communicate the results via email. The chosen candidates will be invited to participate in a face-to-face audition. These will take place on February 2025 in Barcelona. We will send more details at a later stage.

We are looking forward to receiving your applications!
