This elective subject builds on Orchestral Performance Practicum 2 by providing students a performance-focused, work-integrated learning experience with a professional orchestra.
By attending and playing in rehearsals and performances and through professional mentoring on orchestral techniques and excerpts, students gain practical rehearsal experience with, and further develop and refine communication skills required by, a professional orchestra. The experience culminates in a casual audition with the partner organisation.
