On July 5, 2019, the Academic Orchestra Freiburg (aka) celebrates its 55th anniversary and invites to an anniversary concert in the Konzerthaus Freiburg. Under the direction of Joonas Pitkänen and together with violinist Judith Stapf, the musicians will perform Alexander Glasunow’s Violin Concerto op. 82 and Anton Bruckner’s Symphony No. 4. The Academic Orchestra Freiburg e.V. is the official symphony orchestra at the University of Freiburg. Each semester it develops a large symphonic program that is performed at the Konzerthaus Freiburg as well as at home and abroad. The aka was initially founded in 1963 as an orchestra from the Faculty of Medicine. About 85 students from all faculties participate in the orchestra.
