It was founded in 1991 by Paloma O'Shea as a highly professional training centre with a double goal: supporting the development of young musicians and bringing music closer to society. The Reina Sofía School was created with the help and advice of great maestros like Yehudi Menuhin, Mstislav Rostropovich, Alicia de Larrocha and Zubin Mehta, and enjoys the support of Her Majesty Queen Sofía as its Honorary President, as well as that of public and private institutions. Every year, 150 young musicians coming from more than 30 countries meet renowned teachers – around 80 –, under the best conditions, in an inspiring building at the centre of Madrid. The tuition-free system allows those with enough merit to have access to the highest level of education. The School organizes over 300 concerts a year with more than 60,000 attendees, in order to give students the opportunity to mature on stage. 1 Why study with us Only the very best teachers For the instrumental and composition chairs, the School has prestigious international teachers. Student selection exclusively merit-based In the School's auditions, the only criterion is the musical and artistic talent of the candidates.

Immerhin vor Mikrofonen und sehr häufig auch vor Kameras, zu jedem Zeitpunkt darauf bedacht, eine „echte“ Konzertatmosphäre zu erzeugen. Dabei haben wir an Sie gedacht und uns vorgestellt, wie Sie uns von zu Hause aus zuhören oder zuschauen. Dass Sie, unser Publikum, ein ganz entscheidender Teil eines Konzerts sind, war uns schon immer bewusst. Aber nun sprechen wir aus gemachter Erfahrung: Ihr Dabeisein ist ein unver- zichtbarer Bestandteil eines jeden Konzerts und macht eine Aufführung erst zu dem, was sie sein soll – ein besonderer Moment musikalischen Schaffens! Das gemeinsame Erleben von Musik lässt sich durch nichts ersetzen und ist ein wesentlicher Teil unseres Seins als Musikerin und Musiker – und als Mensch. Ich freue mich sehr auf das Wiedersehen mit Ihnen! Bleiben Sie weiterhin gesund, Ihr Andrew Manze Chefdirigent der NDR Radiophilharmonie Diese Broschüre gibt Ihnen einen Überblick zu unserer Konzertsaison 2021/22. Aufgrund der aktuellen Situation können sich noch Änderungen ergeben. Deshalb möchten wir Sie bitten, sich stets auf unserer Website zu informieren.
