www.euyo.eu 17th July 2018 Dear Minister, I am delighted to inform you about the upcoming performances by the European Union Youth Orchestra as part of the 2018 Summer Tour The Great Mosaic: exploring Europe's musical heritage. This year's Summer Tour will see performances in Grafenegg, Bolzano, Warsaw, Berlin, Amsterdam, London, Vienna, Stresa and Ferrara, taking place from 16 July - 26 August 2018. The Orchestra will be conducted by Manfred Honeck and Gianandrea Noseda, performing alongside renowned pianists Rudolf Buchbinder and Seong-Jin Cho, and singers Thomas Hampson, Luca Pisaroni, Michael Nagy and Krešimir Stražanac. Concerts will include the world premiere of Fireworks by the critically acclaimed Polish composer and vocalist Agata Zubel, in a joint commission with the Adam Mickiewicz Institute celebrating the 100th anniversary of Polish Independence and the EUYO also celebrating the European Year of Cultural Heritage. 2018 is one of the Orchestra's busiest years yet, with an extensive programme of activity and performances of almost ninety European compositions taking place in all corners of Europe and live concerts in fourteen countries that will be broadcast around the globe. Outside of the summer tour, the second half of 2018 includes a new Chamber Academy in Ferrara including outreach work with young Italian musicians, a concert to celebrate Austria’s EU presidency, concerts to mark the 100th anniversary of the end of the first world war, the continuation of the Experience Europe project to develop understanding between China and the EU through a side-by-side partnership with the Shanghai Orchestra Academy, and an alumni project with our partner Grafenegg that charts the last hundred years of music in Europe and its diaspora well beyond this continent. The second half of 2018 continues the Great Mosaic project, with events celebrating Europe's unique musical and cultural heritage. We would be delighted to welcome you at our upcoming events and join us in marking an exciting and culturally significant year for Europe. Attached you will find details of the Orchestra’s performances between July and September. In order to ensure we can reserve tickets for you, please respond to this invitation no later than Friday 27th July with details of any of the events from our August Summer Tour or September Chamber academy that you wish to attend.
