The Gustav Mahler Jugendorchester (GMJO) was founded in Vienna in 1986, on the initiative of its present musical director, Claudia Abbado. Today it is regarded as the world’s leading youth orchestra.
As weil as the encouragement of the next musical generation and working with young musicians, it was of particular importance to him to enable young Austrian musicians to play with their colleagues from the then socialist republics of Czechoslovakia and Hungary. Thus, the GMJO became the first international youth orchestra to hold open auditions in the countries of the former Eastern bloc. In 1992, the GMJO opened up to musicians aged up to 26 from all over Europa. As the youth orchestra for the whole of Europe, it is under the patronage of the European Council.
A jury authorized by Claudio Abbado makes its selection from the many candidates at auditions held in more than twenty-five European cities each year.
