Players wanted

Two young orchestras in eastern Switzerland are joining forces and are planning a joint project with Shchedrin's Carmen Suitewhich is also open to other interested amateur players. That is why the Sankt Gallen Chamber Orchestra and the Graubünden Young Orchestra are inviting young, young-at-heart and good string players to take part in four concerts in mid-May 2017 in St. Gallen (Lokremise), Chur and Altstätten. An unknown, inspiring version of the famous Carmen Suite (with 5 percussionists led by Eckart Fritz from Chur and a string orchestra) is developed together with the regular players in rehearsals in Chur and St. Gallen, and then put together with direction, stage, actors (led by Annette Démarais from St. Gallen, Dimitri Schule), percussion and lots of energy. The conductor of this production is the Flims musician and cellist Mathias Kleiböhmer

We are looking for interested amateur musicians to join our string orchestra. Rehearsals will start in January, the concerts are on May 12, 13, 14 and 19, 2017.
