What do the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Amsterdam's Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra and the Berlin Philharmonic all have in common? It's the fact that each of these world-famous ensembles boasts a strikingly large number of musicians who started their musical careers as members of the CYSO (Chicago Youth Symphony Orchestra). Founded in 1946, the youth orchestra has built up an international reputation since giving its first public concert 70 years ago. A significant portion of its members go... on to find a place in the professional music world after completing their studies, and are sought after not only by America's top orchestras, but by their most renowned European counterparts as well. Over the past seven decades, the CYSO has visited quite a lot of the world, but this will be the orchestra's first appearance in Hungary.
Selected to join the Chicago Youth Symphony Orchestra's 2017 concert tour will be the most talented of nearly 600 young musicians between the ages of 6 and 18 who participate in the extensive musical education and talent development programme known collectively as the Chicago Youth Symphony Orchestras. Those selected get the opportunity to participate in performances of exciting contemporary works along with well-known pieces from the symphonic literature. Master classes and seminars led by Chicago's best-known professional musicians working under the direction of Allen Tinkham aim to ensure that the young musicians acquire the necessary technical skills, practice and self-confidence to perform in even the world's most prestigious concert halls. The staff and management consider their work to be an investment in the next generations.
