Musical festivals of Savoie: "Jeunes de Strasbourg" Symphony Orchestra
Presentation
🎻 A symphonic youth full of passion
The Symphonic orchestra of Jeunes de Strasbourg is a group that brings together, depending on the year, between 50 and 60 musicians aged 15 to 30.Under the direction of Gustave Winkler since summer 2016, the Orchestre symphonique des Jeunes de Strasbourg has built its reputation on a musical work of quality, coupled with a good mood and spontaneity that do not leave the listener indifferent.
As an association, OJS is completely independent. It does not include any learning curriculum and the participation of its members depends only on their motivation. Recruited by audition, the musicians rehearse every week in Strasbourg. The musicians all have different profiles (college, high school, students, active youth) but share a common point: the passion for music.
🌍 A group that transcends borders
During its season, the orchestra performs about ten times in Alsace and neighboring regions (Lorraine, Franche-Comté, Baden-Württemberg...) in various forms: classical concerts or gala, festivals, sound and light shows, educational concerts...Every summer, his work is rewarded by a tour in France or abroad. He has been able to travel his music in Brittany, Aveyron, the Basque Country or further: Quebec, Greece, Italy, Austria, USA, Poland, Croatia, Slovenia, China ...
In 2024 the Orchestra was invited by the Musical Festivals of Savoy. Due to the great success of his concerts, he is invited again this year in Savoie, on his return from his tour in Italy.
