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).

The Moritzburg Festival Orchestra gave a successful concert at the King Albert Theatre in Bad Elster on 7 August 2009 and opened the 17th Moritzburg Festival in Volkswagen's "Die Gläserne Manufaktur" in Dresden on 9 August 2009. At this place members of the Moritzburg Festival Academy presented an enthusiastically acclaimed Family Concert on 8 August 2009 with Camille Saint-Saëns' "Carnival of the Animals".
With a final chamber music concert on 11 August 2009 in the Moritzburg Castle the Moritzburg Festival Academy came to a celebrated conclusion.
