Young 2023 - Gijs Kikkert
Look back Young 2023
This summer, Concertgebouworkest Young once again made a deep impression on its young participants. An intensive programme of orchestral rehearsals, chamber music and social and cultural classes was concluded with fabulous concerts at The Concertgebouw and the Konzerthaus Berlin. A look back on a life-changing project.
Concertgebouworkest Young is a unique international youth orchestra made up of young, talented musicians aged fourteen to seventeen, under the guidance of musicians of the Concertgebouw Orchestra. The aim of the project is to showcase those with hidden talent – young musicians who could use a little extra support and who have lacked visibility in the youth orchestras of Europe.
‘3 weeks, 84 friends, unforgettable moments.’

This fourth edition, under the direction of Andrés Orozco-Estrada, they performed among others Tsjaikovski’s Romeo and Juliet and the Bruch Violin Concerto featuring violinist María Dueñas,

'The Young project is as a shining star in my life. Here, I get the opportunity to work with top musicians like conductor Andrés Orozco-Estrada and violinist María Dueñas, stars that I only knew from YouTube.'

To ensure that participants are unencumbered by financial constraints, enrolment in Young is free. Travel expenses, too, are reimbursed. None of this would be possible without the donations of private individuals, foundations and corporate partners of the Concertgebouw Orchestra. We are most grateful to all those who help make Young a reality.
