The orchestra week of the Salzburg Children's & Youth Philharmonic Orchestra is aimed at music-loving children and young people aged 7-18 who already have a good grasp of their instrument, practise almost daily, have had instrumental lessons for at least 2 years, have a good ear and sense of rhythm and can tune their instrument independently. Orchestra or ensemble experience is an advantage. The focus is on having fun and enjoying making music together, as well as getting to know professional rehearsal work.
