Moritzburg Festival Academy: 3 to 11 August 2009

The Moritzburg Festival Academy has achieved an excellent reputation far beyond european borders as a top-class, creative and innovative musical workshop. In August 2009, 38 musicians from 16 nations came to Moritzburg near Dresden to work on a comprehensive orchestra programme under the direction of British conductor Grant Llewellyn. They performed e.g. Johann Sebastian Bach's ”Concerto No. 1 A minor BWV 1041 for Violin and Orchestra” and Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach's "Concerto A major Wq 172 for Cello and Orchestra" together with the internationally renowned soloists Baiba Skride (Violin) and Jan Vogler (Cello).
