On the occasion of the 20th edition of the Mediterranean Games, which will be held in Taranto in 2026, the Taranto 2026 Organising Committee, in collaboration with the Magna Grecia Orchestra Institution, and with the support of the Ministry of Culture and the International Committee of the Mediterranean Games (CIJM), is promoting the creation of the Mediterranean Games Youth Orchestra.
The Orchestra will be a symbol of cooperation and intercultural dialogue, made up of young musicians from all the countries participating in the Games. Inspired by the founding values of the Games – peace, friendship, respect, inclusion, and brotherhood among nations – the Youth Orchestra will be an artistic and human workshop of the highest level, led by internationally renowned musicians. The selected young musicians will play a leading role in the Opening Ceremony of the Games, as well as in concerts, symphonic productions, educational experiences, and cultural activities that will accompany the event.
All young talents are invited to apply through the online selection process to take part in the Mediterranean Games Youth Orchestra project.
