2025 German Exchange Trip

2/5/2025

 
Picture
​Last week (January 24 through February 2, 2025), the McLean Philharmonic Orchestra traveled to Detmold, Germany to participate in their annual exchange program with the Grabbe Gymnasium. While in Germany, students played side-by-side rehearsals with the Detmold Youth Orchestra daily, while also sightseeing and learning about German history and culture. Students were welcomed to Detmold by visits by both the Mayor of Detmold and Prince of Lippe, both of which educated students on the region’s rich history of music. The small city of Detmold is most well-known for it’s world-reowned Conservatory for Music, featuring a state of the art wave field synthesis system, where students learn about the power of acoustics. The trip came to its peek with a side-by-side concert featuring the American and German orchestras performing Schubert’s “Unfinished Symphony,” Grieg’s “Sigurd Jorsalfar Suite,” Polar Express, and more. The trip ended with a day trip to Cologne as well as a day trip to Amsterdam before returning home.
