The idea behind the Junge Deutsche Philharmonie is motion!

Developing, daring to be different, and achieving outstanding musical goals with passion! To this end, the orchestra fosters and challenges talented young musicians on their way into the future, offers musical experiences in tune with the times, and provides key impulses.

For budding professional musicians, the Junge Deutsche Philharmonie is a vital addition to their music academy studies. The students experience high-level orchestral work with some of the most renowned conductors, soloists, and instructors. In addition, various committees and workshops give them non-musical skills essential to their future professional lives. The Junge Deutsche Philharmonie collaborates with professional orchestras, music academies, and experts from a wide variety of fields. The most talented young musicians in Germany come together to form an outstanding orchestra that gives first-rate concerts. A strict selection system ensures a consistently high level of musicianship. Former members of the Junge Deutsche Philharmonie now perform in all major professional orchestras and have begun to train the next generation.

The Junge Deutsche Philharmonie represents the Federal Republic of Germany abroad as the ambassador of a new musical culture, transmitting its love and enthusiasm for classical music – especially to the younger generation – with sophisticated and innovative musical offerings. Partnerships with educational institutions and other artists provide a further platform for innovation. The orchestra’s programming follows a clear course. It addresses current, socially relevant topics, explores new forms, or presents a contemporary composer in a conceptually unique manner.

We do not merely preserve classical music as our valuable cultural heritage, but continue to develop it.
