The Chisinau Youth Orchestra is a cultural project implemented in Moldova the third year in a row.

They will give five classical music concerts, one of which in the open air, in Moldova’s Balti and Chisinau and in Romania’s Sinaia and Bucharest this August.

The first youth orchestra in the world - Simón Bolívar Youth Orchestra of Venezuela - appeared in Venezuela in 1975. The idea of forming such an orchestra was soon borrowed by many countries.
