The EFM Young Artists Orchestra Program brings together gifted bassoon students from around the world, featuring two exceptional ensembles that perform full-length, ticketed concerts throughout the summer. Rehearsing six days a week, these young musicians immerse themselves in challenging repertoire designed to push their artistic and technical limits. A distinctive feature of the program is its weekly seat rotation, allowing participants to experience different orchestral roles and develop a deeper, more versatile musicianship.
