Orchestre Juventutti
Activities
Free concerts open to the public.
Orchestre Juventutti enables musicians to share meaningful experiences that foster the players' growth by giving them the chance to play with other, more practised musicians. The educational aspect of the experience is made complete by rotating the orchestra conductors, which enables the most gifted musicians to experience this role. The programme ranges from Baroque pieces through Swiss works, and the selection process is widely shared among the musicians.
The orchestra is independent from any other institution and offers its concerts free of charge.
