Are you a young musician from the Mediterranean? Would you like to get a high-level training while benefiting from the presence of the prestigious artists at the Festival d'Aix?
Apply to the auditions and let your talent shine!
The Mediterranean Youth Orchestra (MYO) organised training sessions to young artists from the Mediterranean offering an intercultural experience of life within a orchestra or an ensemble in creation. A hundred young musicians from twenty different countries are chosen from auditions from November 2017 to March 2018 to take part in the MYO sessions at the Académie du Festival d’Aix.
We have the chance to be trained by the best teachers, play in a very important festival with great conductors and also have a tour. The staff is doing an excellent job and is taking care of us.
So we have everything we need to work and create something interesting and unique, like professional orchestras do. It was one of the biggest experiences of my life so far!Konstantinos Sifakis (2017 symphonic session)
