We are immensely proud to continue our ongoing collaboration through organising local auditions for young emerging musicians, supporting them to thrive and gain experience in international contexts such as these that celebrate artistic excellence and foster cross-cultural collaboration.

Here is what Eliza & Nicholas had to say as they reflect on this experience:

Eliza Melillo

โ€œI consider my time with the OJM as an incredible milestone in my musical journey. It was an invaluable experience through which I gained a deeper understanding of the technique of orchestral playing, as well as profound friendships with like-minded people from all over the Mediterranean.โ€

Nicholas Conrad

"Making music and gaining friendships amongst almost one hundred people from so many different cultures and backgrounds was an incredible experience. I feel that I have not only improved as a musician, but have also made great friends and wonderful memories."
