The EUYO launched its 2019 theme – The Listening The aim is twofold: for our young musicians to hone Project – in April of this year, exploring the crucial their performance skills by understanding how they importance of the skill of listening for orchestral can most effectively help you, the audience, to listen, musicians, whilst also reflecting on the importance and also to learn about the different ways that of listening for society as a whole. audiences do in fact listen. The learnings so far are many, from the technical skill What is the effect of the way in which the musicians of being able to alternate at will between listening to enter the stage? What about the mood of fellow audience sounds near and far away, to the ability to listen to others members? How does listening to a traditional concert whilst also listening to oneself. We also learnt that both in a venerable concert hall differ from the informality freedom and discipline enable improved listening: how of listening to a free concert in an art gallery? What being well prepared frees us to devote more energy to is the effect on listening of the open air spaces of listening in performance, and how a musician who can Grafenegg’s Wolkenturm, or the new architecture of take their eyes off the printed music can free themselves the Hamburg ElbPhilharmonie with its seats in front to listen far more powerfully. All of this plays its part of, but also massed around and behind the orchestra? in the Orchestra’s unending search for excellence in Does the pre-concert talk or do the programme notes performance.

3 EUROPEAN UNION WELCOME

Dear members of the European Union Youth Orchestra, from Beethoven to Mahler, from Dvořák to Mozart, European composers and musicians contributed greatly to the development of our uniquely diverse cultural heritage and our common identity. Music creates strong bonds between performers and audience. Moreover, it overcomes cultural, linguistic and geographical barriers like no other language. In the next months, you will be the ambassadors of The Listening Project, which aims to underline the importance of listening in both musical and social terms. Today more than ever, the success of the European Union depends on the ability of our citizens to have a dialogue. Mutual understanding and collaboration are crucial if we want to find common solution to the challenges ahead. Only by standing ‘United in diversity’, can we create the brightest future for the next generations. This project represent a great opportunity to bring this message to our citizens. For this reason, I am happy to express my support to all of you and to wish you the very best ahead of your 2019 Summer Tour in Austria, Czech Republic, Germany, Italy, and the Netherlands.
