Guest Concert: Frysk Youth Orchestra

The Frisian Youth Orchestra was founded in 1977 and consists of a group of young and enthusiastic amateur musicians. The orchestra has a symphonic composition of about sixty members. The Frysk Youth Orchestra operates based on four core values: joy, collaboration, discipline, and development. Our goal is to provide young musicians from Friesland with a platform where they can experience the joy of making music together in a symphony orchestra. The Frisian Youth Orchestra also aims to inspire each individual orchestra member to develop further and enjoy making music together. The orchestra regularly gives concerts in Friesland and other parts of the Netherlands. Additionally, it has undertaken numerous tours to the United States, Spain, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Switzerland, Sweden, Italy, France, Croatia, and Slovenia. Alongside the symphonic repertoire, film music and musical theater works are also regularly featured in the program. In 2006, the Frysk Youth Orchestra won the main prize at the first national competition for youth symphony orchestras, and in 2015, the orchestra won first prize in the category "Youth Orchestra – Large Symphony Orchestra." The Frysk Youth Orchestra also won first prize at the national orchestra competition in 2024. In the same year, the orchestra undertook its latest concert tour to Croatia and Slovenia. Program:
