The Youth Orchestra is now an established platform for young musicians in the capital to express their musical talent through educational programs, rehearsals, and concerts throughout the year.
The Department of Culture and Tourism - Abu Dhabi is collaborating with the International Music Institute—one of the oldest institutes in the country, founded in 1994—to organize a program open to all music students in the United Arab Emirates. Students who participate are selected through an audition process.
The selected students become members of the Youth Orchestra and Choir and join a program consisting of free weekly rehearsals and workshops led by highly qualified instructors. In addition, students have the opportunity to perform in concerts at prestigious venues across the UAE. Three performances by the Youth Orchestra are scheduled for 2024.
