2024 Tour - Germany and Czechia

In April 2024, MSE's flagship ensemble spent three weeks in Germany and Czechia, performing in several major cities of Berlin, Leipzig and in the Czech republic before finishing the tour in Stuttgart. MSE collaborated and performed with the Stuttgart Youth Chamber Orchestra, the Leipzig Youth Symphony Orchestra, and with the orchestra of the School of Music and Art in Liberec. Alumnus Jacinta Ryan (currently a member of the Mannheim opera orchestra) joined us as our soloist and MSE had the opportunity to play in some wonderful concert halls such as the Liedehalle in Stuttgart.

Our program showcased many Australian works, including new works commissioned as part of the Seasons Project and also performed at the Australian Embassy in Berlin.

MSE players attended masterclasses with notable German professors such as Anke Dill, Carolin Widman, Marlene Ito, Suyeon Kang and Peter Bruns.
