YOUNG MUSIC TALENTS in OSLO – Two horn players head north ✈️🥳

Just before the start of the semester, two students from the Preparatory Course for Horn, Marlene Fasching and Ann-Sophie Hillbrand, travelled to Oslo together with tuba player Anna-Maria Ladányi-Guggenberger as their teacher. The occasion was the network meeting of “Young Music Talents in Europe” (YMTE) at the Norwegian pre-college “Barratt Due Institute of Music”.

The meeting combined a professional exchange between the European partner schools on the training of young talents AND a great ensemble project for 25 wind players from all over Europe.

The days in Oslo were shaped by intensive rehearsals, though there was still plenty of time for sightseeing together and exploring the beautiful city and Nordic culture, including the food.

The highlight was the performance of the various ensembles at the Nobel Peace Center (yes!!), with works by Igor Stravinsky, Joachim Raff, György Ligeti, Jean-François-Victor Bellon and Sir Peter Maxwell Davies.

The mdw talent lab is delighted to be part of this European network and to be able to offer young talents experiences like this! 👏
