2026 SYMPHONIC SESSION
Share
For 40 years, the Orchestre des Jeunes de la Méditerranée (OJM) has created large orchestras to support the development of the most talented young artists in the Mediterranean basin. The OJM is historically committed to intercultural dialogue and the rapprochement of cultures in the Mediterranean, a contribution to peace that is more necessary than ever. It relies on a cooperation network that shares its values and facilitates the recruitment and mobility of artists in the Mediterranean.
The symphonic session of the Orchestre des Jeunes de la Méditerranée (OJM) is aimed at future professional musicians from the countries of the Mediterranean basin. This advanced training program offers a unique intercultural experience of life in a symphony orchestra, rehearsing and touring in the stimulating setting of the Festival d'Aix-en-Provence, and conveys the pleasure of large-scale repertoire.
