The European Union Youth Orchestra (EUYO) is one of the world’s leading youth symphony orchestras. Founded in 1976, after a unanimous decision of the European Parliament, it has collaborated with many renowned artists and conductors, including Leonard Bernstein and Herbert von Karajan. Among its alumni are many celebrated soloists, conductors, professors, and orchestra musicians.

The EUYO has come to Grafenegg every year since 2018, and since 2023 has chosen us to be its official home and administrative headquarters. 

A collaboration with the Music & Art School Management Lower Austria is creating an enriching exchange for the musicians of the Lower Austrian Youth Symphony Orchestra and the EUYO, under the title «MusicHubAustria».
