Järvi Academy Youth Symphony Orchestra
Pärnu Music Festival, 20th July 2019
Youth is a key factor behind the ethos of the Pärnu Music Festival. The Järvi Academy brings young Estonian musicians together, giving them the opportunity to work with international artists and members of the Estonian Festival Orchestra. In addition, there are conducting masterclasses where young participants from around the world study with the Järvi dynasty – Neeme, Paavo and Kristjan – and Leonid Grin. The Academy’s final concert combines the two; its symphony orchestra is helmed by many of the participating conductors who lead a movement before handing on to the next colleague: an elaborate game of pass-the-baton.
