The 2024 Youth Music Culture in the Greater Bay Area (YMCG) will take place from January 20th to February 1st in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.
Renowned conductor Daniel Harding will lead the team of mentors during the music festival, which includes principal musicians and seasoned performers from world-class orchestras such as the Berlin Philharmonic and the Vienna Philharmonic.

Harding expressed great anticipation for the “musical journey” in the Greater Bay Area, saying, “Every musician in the Greater Bay Area is fortunate. There is an abundance of exceptional musical talents and young prodigies here, and I hope everyone gains further musical inspiration in this region. The members of the orchestra come from diverse backgrounds and have different philosophies, but by fostering a sense of teamwork within the ensemble, we can further realize both individual and collective values.

Additionally, around 20 applicants come from 16 professional orchestras in China. Among the orchestra members, over 50 are from renowned music academies both domestic and international, while the remaining 20 come from 16 Chinese professional orchestras.
