The Malta Youth Orchestra is inviting aspiring musicians to audition for its 22/23 Concert Season, offering them the opportunit­y to further their skills.

The MYO was founded in 2004 and since then, it has continuous­ly striven to act as a steppingst­one for its musicians, working with prominent local and internatio­nal conductors amongst which are the Rehearsal Director of the European Union Youth Orchestra Peter Stark, Robert Hodge and David Chan.

Through their regular rehearsals, workshops, masterclas­ses and performanc­es, the MYO, in close collaborat­ion with the MPO Academy, takes the young musicians under its wings, instilling a sense of profession­ality whilst furthering their aspiration­s.

Throughout the concert season, the MYO also performs regularly alongside the Malta Philharmon­ic Orchestra, with its ever-increasing follower base. This gives invaluable exposure to the future musicians of Malta’s foremost musical institutio­n, as they will ultimately be the catalysts for the country’s cultural developmen­t.

In its first concert, the orchestra will perform in Musicals in Concert, presenting iconic music featuring establishe­d singers under the baton of Anthony Gabriele at Pjazza Teatru Rjal.

Online applicatio­ns will be accepted by October 14 and auditions will be held on 4-7 November.

Interested candidates in possession of a Grade 5 or higher in their instrument should prepare instrument­al excerpts and a solo piece of their choice for the audition.
