European Union Youth Orchestra

The European Union Youth Orchestra (EUYO) is a youth orchestra whose members are selected from the 27 member states of the European Union. Founded in 1976, it has served as a bridge between Europe’s music academies and the professional music world for generations of young musicians. The EUYO is regarded as one of the finest youth orchestras in the world, praised for its “extraordinarily high standards” and for performing at major European festivals such as the BBC Proms, the Salzburg Festival, and Young Euro Classic.
