Colombian Youth Philharmonic at the Rheingau Musik Festival | Music Special

A youth orchestra full of energy: The Filarmónica Joven de Colombia gives a brilliant concert under the baton of Andrés Orazco-Estrada at the Rheingau Musik Festival 2022 at Kloster Eberbach monastery. The program includes works by Latin American composers, as well as some from the European classical repertoire. The Filarmónica Joven de Colombia is one of Latin America's outstanding youth orchestras. Founded in 2010 by the Fundación Bolívar Davivienda, the youth orchestra only takes on Colombia's best young musicians and the Colombian Youth Philharmonic's concerts are of correspondingly high-caliber. This video lets us hear the voices of the conductor and the musicians telling the story of their unique orchestra. And in stirring concert excerpts, the mood of the music event in the time-honored setting of Kloster Eberbach monastery is captured: a youthful, upbeat Colombian evening with lots of great music.
