It’s an international summit of the arts: Together with guest musicians from the Orchestre Français des Jeunes, the German National Youth Ballet and the National Youth Orchestra of Germany will perform on stages in Germany and France. Music and dance open up worlds, build bridges and make it possible to experience Europe as a diverse, cohesive cultural area – in keeping with the guiding principle “Youth forges friendship – La jeunesse forge l’amitié”. The event is under the patronage of the President of the European Commission, Dr Ursula von der Leyen.
