GALICIA YOUTH SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA

In the comparatively short space of just over ten years the Galician Youth Symphony Orchestra (OJSG) has enabled hundreds of young musicians to extend their musical training by performing in operas and symphony concerts under the direction of leading conductors such as Alberto Zedda, Víctor Pablo Pérez, Pietro Rizzo, Michael Gilbert, James Ross or Joan Company. It has been the pit orchestra in the La Coruña Mozart Festival, where Alberto Zedda conducted it in a performance of the baroque opera Gli amori d'Apollo e di Dafne, has appeared on stage with the Galician Symphony Orchestra in Mahler’s Symphony No. 8, ‘Symphony of a Thousand’, and has given symphony concerts in Madrid, San Sebastian, Murcia, Valencia, León, Segovia, Jerez, Xavea and Concentaina. Now well established as one of the most innovative educational projects in the world of Spanish music, the OJSG provides musicians aspiring to a professional future with one of the few real possibilities of playing as a member of a symphony orchestra. These young musicians receive a thorough and broad-based musical education through their work side by side with the professional musicians of the Galician Symphony Orchestra, the many master-classes given by some of the best teachers and musicians, such Wolfgang Klos, Anne Gastinel, Geneviéve Laurenceau and Mario Brunello, among others, and their daily practical contact with a wide-ranging repertoire in the four sessions that constitute each academic year. The OJSG has also been conducted by David Ethève, Rubén Gimeno and Vicente Alberola.
