Orchestra

General information course 2024-2025

Director: Jesús Badia

The UAB Orchestra was born in the 1996-1997 academic year under the musical direction of Joan Casals. It is a training consisting of musicians who have already reached a basic level and are looking for a space of continuity where they can continue to combine music and university studies with rigor and in a pleasant way.

The Orchestra rehearses weekly and works with a flexible and diverse musical repertoire. As the members vary each course, so does the appearance and the formation of the group, which often approximates the musical profile of a chamber orchestra. Its members have a regular dedication and participate in both rehearsals and concerts that take place inside and outside the UAB throughout the year.

 

Dates: 7 October 2024 to 30 May 2025.

Rehearsal days and times: Mondays and Thursdays from 13.00 to 14.30 h.
And 4 extra intensive rehearsals during the course (to be agreed in advance with all the training).

Recognition of 6 ECTS credits (annual) or 3 ECTS credits (semester).
