Academy
The Rotterdam Philharmonic Academy presents a varied program featuring music for violin, bassoon, and much more.

Since the 2021-2022 concert season, the Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra has annually invited a group of top international talents to join the orchestra's academy: the Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra Academy. Each season, these young musicians present a sneak peak of their talent at the Heerenhuys and Van Cappellenhuis. Once again, the expanding Academy will be performing here, with a program featuring pieces written for violin, viola, cello, double bass, as well as flute and bassoon.
