Report on Concertgebouw Orchestra YOUNG 2019 - 2022
Below we present the results of our research1 into the three editions of Young, based on surveys, interviews and fieldwork undertaken during the Summer Schools. The evaluation research focuses on the extent to which the Young programme has been able to make progress towards the three undermentioned outcomes:
- Provide access to a high-quality music programme for “hidden” talented youth.
- Support the musical, but also the social and personal development of the participating youth.
- Establish a community of active students and alumni who will inspire and help others through their music.
1) The research was conducted by the Amsterdam research agency Urban Paradoxes.
