The 1st World Youth Orchestra Festival, as part of the 6th World Choir Games, should inspire people to experience, through the power of playing and singing together, the strength of interaction which is able to challenge personality and community equally. The World Youth Orchestra Festival is opened to all youth orchestras from all over the world, no matter which continent they come from or which musical genres are represented in their repertoires or which artistic ambitions they have.

To experience this festival for orchestras from all over the world means to participate, to contribute one’s own performance, to compare with others and to experience the enthusiasm of playing together. The World Youth Orchestra Festival is a fantastic opportunity to inspire and stimulate creative exchanges among participants. It is an exceptional showcase for the future of classical music and all participating orchestras!
