The New York Philharmonic (NYP) has announced a four-year
partnership with the Shanghai Symphony Orchestra. The agreement,
signed on 14 November, includes annual performance residencies by
the NYP in Shanghai, and involvement in a specialised training
programme for orchestra musicians.
According to a joint statement, the programme will begin in the
autumn of 2014, when up to five NYP musicians will give three
week-long training sessions each season to students at the Shanghai
Conservatory. The orchestral residencies will begin in the summer
of 2015, with musicians also taking one training session during
each residency, as well as masterclasses and educational seminars.
Students will be drawn from China, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and
Singapore, with up to 50 scholarships available for the two-year
programme.
The announcement comes on the heels of a similar initiative by the
Philadelphia Orchestra, which began a training partnership with the
National Centre for the Performing Arts in Beijing in May 2012.
Plans for the scheme also include workshops and masterclasses in
Shanghai, Guangzhou and Tianjin.
