Vocation and passion in musicians from all over Europe
An orchestra in Ravenna composed of young talented musicians
Renowned
throughout Europe as an orchestra for young Europeans, the YMEO
represents a successful orchestral formation based in Ravenna at the
behest of the artistic director Paolo Olmi and connected to the main
musical institutions in London, namely the Young Musicians Symphony
Orchestra and the Guildhall School of Music Orchestra.
Managed and
curated by Cooperativa Emilia-Romagna Concerti, the Young Musicians
European Orchestra has been able to distinguish itself for the high
quality of its productions and co-production of major events as well as
live music performances, both in Italy and abroad.
A
particular peculiarity of this musical training is the rigorous
selection of young people from all over Europe and many other
non-European countries; talents range from 15 to 28 years old and they
all have a common characteristic: they are all lovers of musical culture
and are moved by an innate passion for the emotion that music is able
to instil. If you want to organise a cultural or live music show in your
city, the Young Musicians European Orchestra is the right solution for
you: contact our office by phone or fill in the form on the Contact page

Some of the main concerts performed
In
2007, the Young Musicians European Orchestra made its debut for the
first time in the city of Ravenna, specifically for the Easter concert
at the Basilica of Sant'Apollinare in Classe, also filmed by RAI, a sign
of the importance and relevance of the event.
Young Musicians European Orchestra
In 2008 and 2009 the
Young Musicians European Orchestra also paid tribute to the victims of
the attack of 11th September 2001 in a commemorative concert held in
Rome. Two years later, the orchestra returned to its hometown to perform
a concert for the 150th anniversary of the Unification of Italy.
Christmas Concerts
From
2011, the Young Musicians European Orchestra mainly focussed on
Christmas Concerts for Ravenna - Bethlehem, with the main objective of
raising awareness among young people for a beneficial approach to music.
It is thanks to this that, in 2013, the orchestra had the honour of
performing at the Church of the Nativity, in Bethlehem, one of the main
pilgrimage destinations in the Holy Land.
Two
years later, the Young Musicians European Orchestra partnered with
Matera, performing live in the Sassi Auditorium, starting a fruitful
tradition of Christmas concerts in the capital of Basilicata.
