    ESYO Project - 2024 REGULATIONS

    The EUROPEAN SPIRIT OF YOUTH ORCHESTRA (ESYO) offers a high-level pre-professional training to
    selected young musicians (aged 13 – 23) from all European countries and other non-European countries.

    The ESYO Project aims to give our musicians the opportunity to gain experience with symphonic repertoire as a
    member of a unique international symphony orchestra and contributes to a better personal and artistic growth.

    The annual course is made up of several training periods which include intensive orchestra rehearsals,
    masterclasses, chamber music workshop and concert appearances around Europe leaded by our international
    acclaimed faculty, by ESYO Artistic Director and Principal Conductor Igor Coretti Kuret assisted by the
    conductor Nenad Petković.

    Composition of the Full Orchestra (up to 63 members)


    10 First violins
    8 Second violins
    6 Violas
    6 Cellos

    Selection Procedure
    There are two possible selection procedures:

    - ONLINE Auditions – The applicants upload a recording of a short performance on YouTube and
    submit us the URL link to the performance.

    - LIVE Auditions – The applicants are offered to perform in person their audition repertoire at several
    partner institutions around Europe. The updated LIVE Audition Locations and Dates can be found under
    the Auditions section on our website.

    Candidates are asked to perform a short program (two, in the character contrasting pieces) of their
    own choice (max. 5-7 min.) and will be selected both based on their performances as well as of their team-
    working capabilities. The final decision will be made by the Artistic Director in agreement with the ESYO
    faculty members.

    Selections are open each year, from the beginning of February until the end of May. If necessary, the Artistic

    1
    Director may decide to extend the auditioning period. The selected musicians will be invited to form the
    European Spirit of Youth Orchestra. By accepting the invitation, they must consider their participation in the
    proposed ESYO activities as a compulsory commitment.

    Training Periods
    The training periods with intensive rehearsals take place in the residences of ESYO, mostly during the school
    holidays, one or two times a year.

    In 2024 (draft): from 21st July to 11th August 2024 (Summer tour) and, from 26th October to 3rd November 2024
    (Autumn tour, that will be confirmed in September 2024). The attendance in the Autumn tour, as well as in other
    ESYO extra events, is subject by the decision of the Artistic Director, who can confirm or not the participation of
    any member of the orchestra in the above mentioned ESYO activity. Regarding ESYO orchestra’s accommodation,
    during the mentioned tours, all arrangements made with student dormitories, youth hostels, hotels, and other kind
    of accommodation places, as well as, with restaurants, are supervised by the Artistic Director and by the Advisory
    Board of SGME Cultural association in Trieste.

    Participation Fees, Scholarships & Attendance


    Each participant enjoys a partial scholarship (boarding and lodging costs are partially covered by the
    participant), this is why the participation in the orchestra course is considered compulsory and nonetheless
    dependent on the payment of the annual Application fee and of a Participation fee, which must be paid within
    the start of each orchestra workshop.
    The students admitted to the annual program (training courses) are required to participate in all planned activities
    (rehearsals, concerts, special events and excursions). The absence shall only be justified due to illness,
    accompanied by a medical certificate. The not justified absences will have as consequence the reimbursement of
    the annual scholarship amounting to 3.000,00 Euro.
    At the end of each training course, the participants will receive a certificate of attendance and merit.

    Organization of Rehearsals
    Each training period includes intensive sectional rehearsals in the first week, followed by
    rehearsals of the full orchestra, which might be combined with chamber music practice.
