Youth Music Culture The Greater Bay Area

Following the appointment of Daniel Harding as Chairman of Artistic Committee from 2024-28, Askonas Holt is delighted to be partnering with Youth Music Culture The Greater Bay Area (YMCG).

Working with Daniel and Artistic Director Long Yu, a world-renowned faculty of professional musicians has been assembled from some of the greatest orchestras around the globe, including the Wiener Philharmoniker, Berliner Philharmoniker, Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks and London Symphony Orchestra.

Across a two-week residency, over 100 young musicians from China and abroad participate in symphonic and chamber concerts, masterclasses and workshops, and community performances, under the guidance and mentorship of the faculty members. In 2024, public concerts will be presented in Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Hong Kong, with Vilde Frang and Amihai Grosz as soloists in Mozart's Sinfonia Concertante.
