Madrid, December 12, 2024.- The Bilbao Symphony Orchestra (BOS) and the Reina Sofía School of Music have signed a collaboration agreement to promote the training and development of students of the Reina Sofía School’s Conducting Chair.
Thanks to this agreement, the four students of the School’s “Zubin Mehta” Conducting Chair, accompanied by its holder, maestro Nicolás Pasquet, will undertake internships with the BOS in May 2025. This experience will allow them to enrich their learning on stage, working with a professional orchestra, strengthening the work they carry out in the School’s classrooms.
The School’s Orchestra Conducting Chair, which has the support of Aline Foriel-Destezet, began its journey in the current 2024-2025 academic year, offering a Postgraduate Diploma in Advanced Orchestra Conducting Studies. The program focuses on a practical approach as one of its fundamental pillars. To this end, the School has established agreements with prestigious Spanish and European orchestras, allowing students to acquire experience in a fully professional environment. The presence of students and faculty in these practices is possible thanks to the support of the Banco Sabadell Foundation.
With the signing of this agreement, the Bilbao Symphony Orchestra joins a project of the highest level. Collaborating with an institution of the prestige of the Reina Sofía School of Music reinforces the orchestra’s commitment to the training of future music professionals, within a framework of musical excellence.
