From Fan to Donor

Young Euro Classic featuring African Jazz

The Young Euro Classic audience is a very special one… With its donations, it makes projects possible which would never have seen the limelight otherwise. In 2012 our audience is supporting “Young Euro Classic featuring African Jazz”, i.e. young musicians from South Africa and Germany who rehearse together and will perform at a unique concert evening at Young Euro Classic on July 28.

As ambassadors of their own cultural tradition, the musicians at Young Euro Classic also introduce audiences to the music being created where they live. Jazz is what the South African musicians bring to us. For young Germans and South Africans to experiment together, combining different sound influences, your support is needed.

Only your donation makes it possible! Please join our campaign...

Focus on Europe

From 27 July - 12 August

… young musicians will once again turn the concert scene of the German capital on its head. For two and a half weeks, they will create an incomparable, enchanting atmosphere in Berlin’s centre – and as always, at a world-class musical level.

This year, the musical landscape is weighted heavily towards Europe. But not exclusively. As always, Young Euro Classic brings together many elements and people: South Africans and Germans with a jazzy programme, Turks and Armenians in a joined orchestra and, for the first time at Young Euro Classic, contemporary dance with music.

Take a look and share the spirit!

A foretaste of Young Euro Classic 2012

In order to shorten the waiting period until the summer, Young Euro Classic presents the San Francisco Symphony Youth Orchestra on July 3. Created in 1981, the orchestra is considered an outstanding ensemble that “may claim to be one of the best international and professional orchestras” (“Süddeutsche Zeitung”). No wonder that musicians like Yo-Yo Ma, Kurt Masur, Valery Gergiev, Mstislav Rostropovich or Vadim Repin have performed with this exceptional orchestra. Come and listen to these young musicians under the direction of Donato Cabrera, performing at the Philharmonie on July 3rd together - for the first time with the German piano virtuoso Lars Vogt.  >>
