European Youth Orchestra Academy 2024

Around 70 highly talented young musicians aged 14 to 19 from all over Europe were once again selected by an expert jury this year. The two final concerts of this year's orchestra workshop on May 31 (Eurogress Aachen) and June 1 (Rosengarten Mannheim - Mozartsaal) took place together with the opera choir of the Nationaltheater in Mannheim and soloists from the Nationaltheater Mannheim under the direction of Jan Paul Reinke. The program included Beethoven's IX Symphony, Hans Eisler's Gegen den Krieg with texts by Bert Brecht and Mario Joannou Elia's new composition PHILIA - Ode to Friendship, which received its world premiere during the concerts.

The EUROPA CONCERT was a tribute to one of the most important composers of all time and to democratic Europe. It was held under the patronage of the European Parliament.
