What a great (one is almost tempted to say "civilized") idea: an orchestra composed of young musicians from sixteen European countries (and one from America), touring the Continent for three weeks and presenting a series of concerts under the aegis of the Danish-based organization Swinging Europe and the European Broadcasting Union (EBU). Each year, new composers and conductors are singled out as mentors, and this tenth edition of the EYJO is directed by Great Britain's Barry Forgie, best known for his work as leader of the renowned BBC Big Band.
