Are you a young musician looking to grow within a creative, collaborative, and demanding artistic environment? The El Sistema Greece Academy is now holding auditions for new members!
El Sistema Greece has created a new musical ensemble dedicated to the artistic and personal development of young musicians, offering them the space to refine their technique, musical expression, and collaborative skills within a community that believes in the power of music as a tool for social change.
The El Sistema Greece Academy is open to young musicians aged 15–26 who play: violin, viola, cello, double bass, flute, oboe, clarinet, bassoon, trumpet, trombone, tuba, French horn, and percussion.
The ensemble focuses on a demanding and inspiring repertoire spanning different musical periods (including works by Gluck, Mozart, Grieg, Bartók, and others). Musicians collaborate with distinguished conductors and soloists, take part in major concerts, and use music as a means of creativity and social engagement. The ensemble’s conductor is Kyriaki Kountouri.
Rehearsals take place every Saturday, 16:00–19:00, at Nea Ekpaideftiria G. Malliara (6 Erechtheiou St., Alimos), with free transportation provided to and from three locations in Attica (Penteli, Syntagma, Kypseli).
The El Sistema Greece Academy welcomes both current El Sistema Greece members and young musicians from conservatories or music schools, fostering diversity and strengthening the musical community.
Audition applications must be submitted by Wednesday, January 14. For applications and further information, please contact Lydia Margari at [email protected] or +30 694 824 6468.
