Are you a young musician ready to go beyond rehearsals and concerts?

Music for Future 2026 brings together young string players from across Europe for one intensive week of music-making, creative exploration and international exchange.

Whether you come from a classical background or are curious about improvisation, folk music or new ways of making music – this project is for you.
