Young Euro Classic Audience Orchestra

Last year you saved us with your donations – with 2,000 x 30 euros. We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to you yet again.

From Flashpoint to Fanfare

Just a few years ago, the Balkan region was a one of the world’s major conflict flashpoints. In the autumn of 2009, after the summer anniversary festival at the Konzerthaus in Berlin, we were commissioned by the German Ministry of Foreign Affairs to assemble an ensemble of young musicians from the countries of the former Yugoslavia.

Young musicians whose parents had only just stopped fighting each other.

“One cannot fail to hear the personal stories that resonate in the vibrant shower of semitones,” wrote the Berlin daily newspaper Der Tagesspiegel.


Thanks to Your Support!

From flashpoint to fanfare. We thought we should give this idea a high-profile spot on the Young Euro Classic 2010 programme. Indeed, the Young Euro Classic Festival Orchestra Southeastern Europe will be performing on the opening night. We need your help again this year to make it happen!

49 musicians from Germany and southeastern Europe

….made possible by you, our audience.

 

How can I get involved?

All donations count, no sum is too small!

30 € buys a set of sheet music for the string players
50 € pays for a night’s accommodation for a young trumpet player, for example
100 € means a young Serbian percussionist will have something to drum on
250 € covers the travel costs of a young violinist from Slovenia
…even just 5 € will buy sheet music.
