2018 SPRING TOUR: 19 March - 15 April 2018
The EUYO's 2018 Spring Tour commenced with a two week residency in Ferrara as part of the official opening of the Orchestra's new three year residency project. The opening concert took place on Friday 30th March at Teatro Comunale di Ferrara where the Orchestra was joined by Chief Conductor Vasily Petrenko and renowned pianist Till Fellner. The EUYO appeared as Orchestra in Residence at Grafenegg where they performed a formal Easter concert at informal chamber music activities. The 2018 Spring Tour also saw the beginning of an exciting new education and performance residency at Dubai Opera, in a wide-ranging series of open rehearsals, outreach events and concerts, performing alongside Vasily Petrenko and pianists Karim Said and Alexandra Dariescu. During this time, the Orchestra was awarded the 2018 Cultural Diplomat of the Year Award alongside four other recipients, and the EUYO were delighted to be invited to perform at the CultureSummit Abu Dhabi 2018, where it was presented with the award. The EUYO travelled to Romania and gave a final, atmospheric performance of the 2018 Spring Tour to a full house at the Romanian Athenaeum in Bucharest.
