A look at “Youth making music”
Participation in the competition is part of the “Jugend musiziert” initiative, which has focused on making music together since 2007 and offers young talents a valuable platform. In around 170 regional competitions, which take place annually in around 135 regions of Germany, participants have the opportunity to demonstrate their skills and receive valuable feedback from a jury. This often consists of experienced musicians and teachers who work on a voluntary basis and thus promote the musical growth of children and young people. Further information about the competitions can be found on the website Youth make music be read.
With the initiative “enviaM – MUSIC FROM COMMUNITIES”, enviaM, the Association of German Music Schools and the music schools in Saxony and Brandenburg bring musicians together and thus promote cultural coexistence in the region. More and more young talents have the opportunity to live out their passion in front of a wide audience, which has a positive impact on the local music scene. An exciting finale is now coming up for “Los Gittarreros” and the people of Cologne can look forward to further musical highlights.
