Presenter

Deutscher Freundeskreis europäischer Jugendorchester e.V.

Building a platform for the best young orchestral musicians from all over the world in Berlin, giving the then still young capital a festival - that was the idea for which a handful of friends founded the ‘Deutscher Freundeskreis europäischer Jugendorchester e.V.’ in 2000 - under the chairmanship of Dr Willi Steul. To this day, the Freundeskreis is more than just the presenter of Young Euro Classic - the Freundeskreis is wholeheartedly committed to the festival and the idea behind it. A civic commitment that makes Berlin resound in the truest sense of the word every summer.
