The Tafelmusik Baroque Summer Institute enjoys an ongoing partnership with the Jeune Orchestre Atlantique, a European training orchestra specializing in classical and romantic repertoire on period instruments. To complement the baroque training offered by TBSI, two TBSI participants will be offered scholarships to attend the JOA orchestral training programme held July 10-25, 2012 at the Abbaye aux Dames in Saintes, France.

This year the JOA/TBSI exchange programme is open to two violinists, violists or double bassists attending the 2011 Tafelmusik Baroque Summer Institute. Both TBSI and JOA are open to players of modern instruments as well as to players experienced on period instruments. Tafelmusik can supply a limited number of baroque bows and violins to participants in the TBSI programme, and JOA will rent classical bows to participants in the summer orchestral programme. JOA is also able to provide double basses to players who prefer not to transport their own instruments.
The JOA exchange scholarship offers free tuition for the JOA July orchestral sessions as well as full room and board. Successful applicants are responsible for arranging and paying for their own travel costs.
Interested applicants for the exchange are required to submit an audition CD. The audition can be done on a period or modern instrument and bow. Note that no audition CD is required for the TBSI portion of the programme.
Audition requirements for the JOA Exchange (click on each heading for details):
[Note: Violists and double bassists are not required to include a solo sonata or concerto movement, but are welcome to do so if they wish.]
The deadline for submission of the JOA audition CD is March 21, 2012. Results will be announced by April 10. Late applications for TBSI will be considered as space allows.
