“Collaboration, building bridges, opening dialogue spaces…the European Union Youth Orchestra was for me one of the main symbols.” – Patricio Jeretic, Curator of the EU/FIL 2023 programme

 

The European Union was Guest of Honour at the Guadalajara International Book Fair 2023, the largest book fair in the Spanish-speaking world. The EU’s participation in the event took place under the motto “Building a Union of Cultures”, and celebrated the diversity both among the EU 27 Member States, and the LAC region. As Cultural Ambassadors for the EU, EUYO was proud to perform at several events in Guadalajara in November 2023. Mexican musicians joined our Orchestra at the inaugural concert on November 25th, and other events included an education concert for Guadalajara families with young children.
