About us
​
The Swiss Symphony Orchestra of Jeunesses Musicales Suisse was founded in 1990 as a summer academy and each year offers 90 young musicians the opportunity to develop a symphonic program and perform in large concert halls. The rehearsals and the three final concerts will be conducted by highly qualified musicians.
​
A second part of the academy is reserved for various creative activities. Five animation assistants offer leisure activities outside of rehearsal times such as sports tournaments, games and many other surprises.
​
A body percussion group is also a popular part of the course.​
The orchestra academy is conducted in French, German, Italian and English.
