As a continuation of our ECDA Summer Academy, which has generated an extraordinary breeding ground, and taking as a reference the best European musical training formats, whose pyramid is ensemble music, the orchestra, the Atlántida Youth Orchestra was born.
Artistically and musically directed by Manuel Tévar , the project will have a permanent roster of 20 string players. The young players must be between 12 and 17 years old at the time the roster is formed and will be selected through selection processes held at the end of each year, resulting in a list of regular and reserve players for the following year.
