The Conservatory Training Ensemble
Musikkonservatoriets praktikorkester
The Conservatory Training Ensemble was a small orchestra based out of The Royal Danish Academy of Music. The purpose was to give the conductor students a tool to reherse on as part of the education at the conservatory. I'm uncertain whether it still exists today, though it makes sense to have one.
In the beginning we were mainly amateurs, some aiming for a professional music carear, others like me just doing it for the fun and also a bit for the money. It was later decided than the orchestra should be filled with students from the conservatory, rather than paying 'outsides' to come in once a week.
