The members of Concertgebouworkest Young will be presenting themselves as a youth orchestra at The Concertgebouw and at the Hamburg Elbphilharmonie. A very special experience, both for the musicians themselves and for the audience!

Since the first edition in 2019, Young has gained wide acclaim for its uniqueness and innovation: this summer project has turned out to be exactly what the music world needed.For the fourth edition, in August 2023, over 80 talented young people from all corners of Europe will come together again. After an intensive summer programme, they will be presenting themselves as a youth orchestra at the Amsterdam Concertgebouw and the Konzerthaus Berlin.
Under the direction of Andrés Orozco-Estrada, they will be performing Tsjaikovski’s Romeo and Juliet, the Bruch Violin Concerto featuring violinist María Dueñas, the newly commissioned work The Muscle that Raises the Wing by Carlijn Metselaar and Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition. After the concerts, the young musicians, like those who participated the first three summers Young was held, will return to their home countries as active ambassadors for classical music. The very future of music is right here onstage. It promises to be a very special experience, both for the musicians themselves and for audiences.
