Hans Zender: “Schubert’s Winterreise”

Get a unique insight into Sir Simon’s rehearsal work. For the first joint project with the BRSO Academy, he chose a particularly challenging work: “Schubert’s Winterreise” by Hans Zender. We recorded the rehearsal on 16 December 2023 with the young musicians for you.

Supporting young talent

“The academy is simply one of those perfect ideas,” says Simon Rattle. As patron of the BRSO Academy, he himself is committed to supporting young talent. You too can support the next generation of musicians.
