We are delighted to announce the next auditions for the GMJO Tours and Projects in 2027. The auditions will take place in about 30 European Cities from October to December 2026. All information can be found on our audition website. 

The GUSTAV MAHLER JUGENDORCHESTER succeeded as the first international youth orchestra to hold free auditions in the countries of the former Eastern Bloc. Since 1986 auditions have been held in the former CSSR, since 1988 in the former GDR and since 1990 also in the former USSR.

Since 1992, the GUSTAV MAHLER JUGENDORCHESTER has been open to musicians up to the age of 27 from all over Europe. Since then, the orchestra has guaranteed equal conditions and absolute equality of opportunity to over 2,500 candidates each year through auditions in approximately 30 European cities.
