2018 Symphonic session

Mediterranean Youth Orchestra

Share

The symphonic session of the Mediterranean Youth Orchestra (MYO) is designed to future professional classical musicians from the Mediterranean basin. This training session offers an intercultural experience of the orchestra life in rehearsals, concerts and on tour within the stimulating frame of the Festival d'Aix-en-Provence. The symphonic session of the MYO provides a high-level musical training where young musicians can benefit from the coaching of experimented artists of the prestigious London Symphony Orchestra while working some repertoire's symphonic masterpieces under the baton of renowned conductors, such as Kazushi Ono in 2018.

Every year, almost 600 musicians apply to one of our auditions organized in twenty countries of the Mediterranean and some 100 young talents are selected to participate in one of the MYO's sessions.
