Course summary
About the MMus/MPerf programme in Orchestral Artistry
Orchestral Artistry is an exciting professional specialism for advanced instrumentalists seeking a career in orchestral playing. Part of the Guildhall Artist Masters programme and delivered in association with one of the world’s leading orchestras, the London Symphony Orchestra (LSO) it offers a course of study which is both highly distinctive and ground-breaking in scope, in a context akin to a professional environment.
Students take part in orchestral repertoire training, audition preparation and practice and coaching sessions with LSO players, as well as LSO rehearsal sit-ins, masterclasses and education and community projects.
