Young 2022
The members of Concertgebouw Orchestra Young 2022 presented themselves as a youth orchestra at The Concertgebouw. A very special experience, both for the musicians themselves and for the audience!
Concertgebouw Orchestra Young is the international orchestra catering for young people aged fourteen to eighteen who could use a little extra support. Since its successful launch in 2019, Young has gained wide acclaim for its uniqueness and innovation: this summer project has turned out to be exactly what the music world needed. Held for the third time in August 2022, over seventy talented young people from every corner of Europe were meeting up. After an intensive summer programme, they presented themselves as a youth orchestra at The Concertgebouw.
Under the direction of Gustavo Gimeno, they performed Hímnica, a recent work by rising star Francisco Coll, followed by one of the masterpieces from the orchestral repertoire: Dvořák’s Symphony No. 9 ‘From the New World’. After the project the young people, like those who participated the first two summers Young was held, returned to their home countries as active ambassadors for classical music. The very future of music was right here onstage. It was a very special experience, both for the musicians themselves and for the audience.
