In order to give young conductors the opportunity of working with and experience our Balthasar
Neumann Ensembles, in 2023, we launch the 1st conductors’ academy under the artistic direction of
Thomas Hengelbrock.

The academy aims to close a gap in higher education and practical work and is organized as an innovative
training program for rehearsing and conducting choir-orchestra-works.
Participants will learn to plan and structure rehearsals, to understand the relationship with singers and
orchestra musicians together and due to the excellently coordinated ensembles they can experience the
immediate implementation of ideas.
The four-day-course will be integrated into a project of Balthasar Neumann Choir and Orchestra which
proposes the unique opportunity to work at the highest artistic level and offers a platform to interact with
international freelance musicians.

BALTHASAR NEUMANN IS OUR JOINT VISIONARY PROJECT. 

With our choir, orchestra, and academy we work from our own strengths, without subsidies, with a clear goal, and with
the highest standards. For each concert we bring our musicians together from all over Europe. Their skills and dedication
enable them together into an outstanding ensemble. We know what we are playing and why. We explore the meaning
of each work by using authentic and historically informed performance practice. We support each other, onstage and
beyond, enabling everybody to give their very best. Because we believe culture to be a connecting force across national
borders, we create unforgettable artistic experiences and bring our musical heritage into the future.
