  90 CIVIS students come together to perform Gustav Mahler’s Symphony at the National Theatre of Marseille
==========================================================================================================

General

30 May 2022

 **90 students from CIVIS member universities gathered in Marseille from 9 to 17 April 2022 for a total immersion into Gustav Mahler’s first symphony "TITAN". After a week of intense rehearsals, the group performed a live-streamed concert at the National Teather of Marseille, La Criée. Both the short-term mobility course [*CIVIS Symphonic Orchestra Academy*](https://civis.eu/en/civis-courses/civic-symphonic-orchestra-academy) itself and the concert were a great success.**

###### Watch the replay

### A truly enriching and international experience

Most students heard about the opportunity from their teachers. 90 of them were selected to participate in the [*CIVIS Symphonic Orchestra Academy*](https://civis.eu/en/civis-courses/civic-symphonic-orchestra-academy) and head to Marseille for a week of adventure!

![](/storage/files/criscuolo-0390.jpg)

What they liked best: meeting student musicians from other universities in Europe, getting to know each other day by day and forming a cohesive group, making music for a week, the challenge of playing Gustav's Mahler Symphony as an orchestra and adapting to different conductors, and ending the week by playing a quality concert in front of a crowd of enthusiastic people.

![](/storage/files/criscuolo-0396.jpg)

The general feedback is very positive: students say they love the project and hope this is only the first edition of the [*CIVIS Symphonic Orchestra Academy*](https://civis.eu/en/civis-courses/civic-symphonic-orchestra-academy) out of many to come, so that other students can benefit from such a great international opportunity.

### Participants share their experiences in video

Watch the wrap-up video and hear students, academics and orchestra leaders sharing their experiences through interviews! English and French subtitles are available.
