This season, the BRSO’s principal conductor Sir Simon Rattle is once again dedicating himself the rehearsal and concert programme of the Bavarian State Youth Orchestra (BLJO). For more than 20 years now, the BRSO has been supporting the BLJO in a variety of ways as part of a sponsorship arrangement. Sir Simon resumed the collaboration that had been shaped by Mariss Jansons and guest conductors of the BRSO in the 2023/24 season.

Members of the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra (BRSO) support young musicians as tutors and mentors, providing inspiration for their further musical development. For most young musicians – many of whom strive to turn their passion into a career – a whole new world opens up as they work alongside the professionals on a regular basis and discover just how varied the role of a professional orchestral musician can be.
