Triorca makes its debut in koblenz!

A new international youth orchestra of young musicians from Germany, England and Serbia gives its first ever public performance when it appears in a concert at the Gorreshaus, Koblenz on 21st July 2012.
​
Conducted by the young Lithuanian conductor, Mirga Grazinyte, Triorca will play a truly international programme of music. The concert features echoes of Spain in Bizet’s Carmen Suite, colourful folk-inspired music by the Serbian composer, Hristic, and the Danzon No. 2 by Marquez, which became the signature piece for the Simon Bolivar Youth Orchestra of Venezuela during their famous European tour a few years ago.  

The 16-year old German violinist Jacob Meining will be soloist in the virtuosic Zigeunerweisen by Sarasate and in an elegaic piece from the early 20th century by a little-known English composer, John Foulds.

The concert is the climax of a residential music course for the orchestra’s 60 players to be held from 16 to 21 July at the Landesmusikacademie in Neuwied-Engers. Coached and prepared for their debut performance by Mirga Grazinyte, the orchestra’s young players will develop their orchestral musicianship and gain experience in chamber groups. Most importantly they will learn from and make lasting friendships with young musicians of other nationalities. They will benefit from culturally distinct approaches to developing professional ensemble playing and performance.

On Friday 20th July, there will be an open rehearsal at Aula des Heinrich-Hauses, Neuwied-Engers to which the public are invited. Admission is free.

Triorca is made up of musicians from the Landesjugendorchester and Landesmusikgymnasium, Rheinland-Pfalz, Norfolk County Youth Orchestra, Norfolk, England and Isidor Bajic Music School, Novi Sad, Serbia. For this first concert the orchestra has 18 players from Germany, 30 from England and 9 from Serbia.
The aim of the Triorca project is to help young musicians from England, Serbia and Germany to share their experiences and different cultural backgrounds and to learn together and from each other, using the international language of music.

The Triorca project has been funded with a grant of 193,000 Euros from the EU Cultural Programme (2007-2013) through the Education, Audiovisual and Culture Executive Agency in Brussels. It is built around the long-standing twinning relationships of Norfolk and Norwich with Koblenz and Novi Sad.

The orchestra’s Artistic Director is the international conductor and virtuoso oboist, Nicholas Daniel, recently awarded the Queen’s Medal for Music 2011, who will conduct the orchestra’s next concerts in Serbia and the UK – www.triorca.eu.
