Looking back at Young 2022

Two unforgettable weeks of music by talented young people. After the spectacular closing concerts in Amsterdam and Hamburg, all 72 musicians of Young 2022 travelled back to their respective homes all over Europe. Watch the livestream of their concert at The Concertgebouw and find out more about the summer programme that prepared them for it.

In addition to rehearsals with the entire orchestra, the youngsters also studied chamber music under the guidance of Concertgebouw Orchestra members. They also attended workshops from United World Colleges, in which they learned important skills about, among other things, cooperation and how to deal with stress.
