Established in July 2017 with an emphasis on high level performance, the Liverpool String Academy Orchestra is EMAE’s flagship ensemble. Our orchestra is made up of members from our Academy's Advanced ensemble alongside LSA alumni and working professionals from across Merseyside.

 

We perform a minimum of four concerts a year including an annual performance at The Tung Auditorium with visiting artists. Performances in the 2024/2025 season have included a concert with the internationally renowned oboist Fabio Bagnoli. 

 

Many of our alumni have gone on to study music at conservatoires and university, now rejoining the ensemble as tutors. 

 

Students get regular solo opportunities with the orchestra. In 2024/2025 a number of students played with the orchestra as soloists including in a performance of Vivaldi’s Double Cello Concerto in G Minor and Vivaldi’s Violin Concerto in A Minor.
