The Orchestra
The European Union Youth Orchestra draws its members from all 27 EU member states. The Orchestra recruits approximately 160 members and 120 reserve members each year from 2,000 to 3,000 hopeful auditionees in a highly rigorous audition process that takes place between September and December annually in all EU Member States. The Orchestra, composed of the EU's finest young musicians, is open to audition for all EU nationals aged 16-26 during the audition period.
