The Young Mannheim Symphonists 2023 National Academy, presented by the Australian Romantic & Classical Orchestra, conducted by Rachael Beesley and co-directed by Rachael Beesley & Nicole van Bruggen, took place from 11-16 April at St Peters Lutheran College.

The 2023 National Academy culminated in this concert in which the Young Mannheim Symphonists performed the repertoire they had prepared throughout the week. The concert, performed in front of a live audience at St Peters Lutheran College was conducted by Rachael Beesley and included works by Beethoven, Mendelssohn and Bizet. The energy on stage was palpable and the orchestra played with vigour, passion and intensity, bringing the knowledge and insights they had gained from the historically informed workshops and rehearsals to life.

Three musicians from the orchestra introduced the pieces with passion and conviction and the audience was overwhelmed by the level these students achieved in just five days of rehearsals. Attended by leading educators, teachers, friends and families, the young musicians were inspired to perform at their best.
