Concerto

Concerto Theresia is a professional orchestra composed by the alumni of Theresia Orchestra. Established in May 2020 as a resilient reaction to the COVID-19 crisis, Concerto Theresia contributes to the sustainability of the Theresia Orchestral Systems (THEOS) by supporting it with part of its fees and revenues, thus enabling the awarding of the grants to more and more young talented musicians. In this way, alumni support also in a tangible way the entry of new young musicians into the Theresia learning system.

Concerto Theresia has also the scope to provide a professional follow-up to the experience made in Theresia Orchestra, making the application to the learning cycles more attractive for the young candidates. This is a rare case of a youth orchestra transforming into a professional scheme from its core and with the purpose to provide support to it.
