The venues of the Rutesheim Cello Academy are located in the Rutesheim school center. In addition to the auditorium, where chamber music is performed, the majority of orchestral and ensemble concerts take place in Halle Bühl II, which is transformed into a concert hall every year. Extensive stage and lighting technology as well as sophisticated sound reinforcement measures create a space in which sounds and colors combine to form an artistic whole.

Education

With the support of the PWC Foundation , the Cello Academy Rutesheim offered the nationwide cultural education project TONALiA for the first time in southern Germany in 2015. Seven students of the master classes between the ages of 19 and 21, who perform as soloists with an orchestra as part of the academy, gave lecture concerts in partner schools and around Rutesheim.

Partner schools 2015:

  • Rutesheim High School
  • Rutesheim secondary school
  • Theodor-Heuss-School Rutesheim
  • Johannes-Kepler-Gymnasium Weil der Stadt

There were exciting, motivating conversations for all participants between the pupils and the soloists who were at times hardly older. The pupils of the partner schools, in turn, had the opportunity to get a taste of the professional fields of concert management and stage technology under professional guidance at the Cello Academy.

Cello Orchestra Baden-Württemberg

The Baden-Württemberg Cello Orchestra, founded in 2011, is an initiative of the Rutesheim Cello Academy to promote ensemble playing. It is aimed at amateur musicians of all ages who want to play the cello with a symphonic line-up. The over 100 players come from all over Germany and increasingly also from abroad. The repertoire includes arrangements of well-known film scores and rock tracks . At the 2011 Academy, the Baden-Württemberg Cello Orchestra played several pieces by the cello rock band Apocalyptica . When the band became aware of a YouTube video of this concert, they wanted to work together, which culminated in 2014 when Apocalyptica founding member Max Lilja played a rehearsal .
