EVENT: MIAGI Youth Orchestra On Tour - Performing with the Austrian artist,  conductor,  composer, painter and jazz trombonist, Christian Muthspiel, the Miagi Youth Orchestra (MYO),  will headline at the   already sold-out Young Euro Classic Festival in Berlin on  July 27.

DATE: July 15 at 3:30pm
VENUE: Linder Auditorium

The orchestra  performed in Berlin in 2009, and has been invited back to play on the opening night in Berlin.

Muthspiel had the pleasure of conducting the MYO  in 2011   and due to the great success of that collaboration, Miagi asked him to lead the musicians once again. 

He has been  inspired by South African culture and has collaborated with one of  the programme’s talented young musicians, Tshepo Tsotetsi.

“During my first phase of work with the Miagi  Youth Orchestra, I was particularly impressed by the music and dances that the young musicians rehearsed and performed in the evenings merely for their own pleasure,” says Muthspiel.
