Spanish Young Music Talents
“Spanish Young Music Talents” is the new music program presented by the Cultural Office of the Embassy of Spain in Washington, D.C. to promote Spanish young musicians in the U.S.
SPAIN arts & culture is the cultural program of the Cultural Office of the Embassy of Spain in Washington, D.C., aimed at promoting Spanish culture and talent in the U.S., through cultural exchanges among institutions and artists, fostering positive bilateral relations between our two countries.
As part of this big program, Spanish Young Music Talents (SYMT) has been envisioned to enhance and support Spanish young musicians’ careers, in collaboration with U.S. music schools and universities at a higher level (bachelor and graduate students orchestras), offering them an experience abroad.
SYMT aims to offer young musicians not only a concert or recital in the U.S., but a complete experience with complementary activities such as masterclasses, talks, conferences, etc. to broaden their opportunities and contacts. All visiting musicians are under 30 and winners of the Juventudes Musicales de España national award (also known as Jeunesses Musicales around Europe), a Spanish national-level contest that takes place every 2 years in each of the different modalities, covering all instruments.
The program was launched in 2022 with four visiting musicians and will continue through 2023.
