Paris calls four young Maltese musicians
Four musicians of the Malta Youth Orchestra are currently in Paris, performing in a youth orchestra made up of members from 27 European countries. The concert will be part of the program of the Presidency of the European Council 2022, hosted by France.
The opportunity consists of a week-long activity revolving around an orchestra of about 120 young members. Composed of talented musicians between the ages of 12 and 16, the selected musicians were selected based on their musical excellence and experience with youth orchestras.
MYO (Malta Youth Orchestra) musicians Demetria Bugeja (oboe), Lucas García Conrad (violin), and Elena Gatt and Philip Zammit (trumpets) were chosen by the organizers to participate in this prestigious event. They will be joined by MYO artistic director José García Gutiérrez who will also represent Malta in a series of seminars discussing orchestral education projects and possible collaborations for collective learning.
The highlight of the week of events will be the performance featuring a varied symphonic music program at the Paris Philharmonic as the musicians will work with two directors, Corinna Niemeyer and Rebecca Tong, winners of the La Maestra 2022 competition. The different musicians will bring in this project. The event underlines a message of collaboration, unity and peace.
Designed by President Emmanuel Macron, the call was established through the Demos Project, a pedagogical music project created 10 years ago and consisting of a team of more than 100 members across France.
ARTE and Philharmonie Live will broadcast live broadcasts of the project until February 27. The concert, which will take place on February 26, will also be broadcast. The event is presented by the Orchester Demos Europe (ODE) in collaboration with Philharmonie de Paris u French Presidency of the Council of the European Union.
