The International Festival of European Youth Orchestras was created to allow young musicians from Europe and beyond the opportunity to participate in an intense and quality Italian musical experience. The Festival is held each July and culminates in a total of 50-75 concerts given by 15-20 orchestras distributed throughout the beautiful region of Tuscan. The Festival aims to represent as many different cultures and nationalities as possible and encourages applications from all international youth and student symphony orchestras.
The Festival is open to all international youth chamber and symphony orchestras, who are free to choose their own programs ranging from baroque to contemporary music. Eligibility for the Festival is assigned according to concert programme and musical level, but high standard youth groups are generally able to participate. During the Festival each orchestra performs three or four concerts. The first of these is held in our main festival venue in Florence - the beautiful courtyard of Palazzo Pitti (100 metres from the Ponte Vecchio), the Church of S. Stefan and the others in some of the most beautiful venues in towns such as: Lucca, Arezzo, Siena, Viareggio, Montecatini Terme, San Gimignano, Venezia, Pisa, Padova, Montepulciano, Modena, Perugia, Cortona, Spoleto, etc.
Eligibility for participation depends on musical level and programme, which must be approved by the artistic board.
Florence Youth Festival is responsible for the full set-up of each venue including staging where necessary, lights, chairs, assistance and extensive promotion. Orchestras must provide their own music stands.
