Series Information

Youth Music of the World

Talented student musicians and singers from schools and colleges across the U.S. perform in iconic and historic European venues in YOUTH MUSIC OF THE WORLD. Their repertoire comprises familiar classical and orchestral pieces, with professional musicians accompanying the young musicians on several songs. In between the performances, students and their musical directors offer their thoughts on the musical selections and performing in a foreign country. They also share their experiences with the different cultures encountered, from driving on the other side of the road in Britain to how the food compares to home. The venues featured in the series include Cadogan Hall in London, home to the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra; the national church of Florence in Rome, the Basilica of San Giovanni dei Fiorentini; and the Santa Maria in Campitelli and Sant'Andrea della Valle, also in Rome.
