By using historical instruments (or replicas) and imitating historical playing styles as closely as possible, contemporary musicians can help audiences appreciate musical masterpieces as they were intended to be played and heard.
That’s the premise behind the Australian Romantic & Classical Orchestra and its Young Mannheim Symphonists education program, which provides an opportunity for young classical musicians to learn historically informed performance and to develop a deeper appreciation for their craft.
