The plan existed since months, now it becomes concrete: Kristjan Järvi’s vision of a Baltic Sea Philharmonic Orchestra has been transformed in reality. With the Baltic Youth Orchestra firmly established as a ‘New Voice in the North’, the professional orchestra is now the next step. This Baltic Sea Philharmonic Orchestra will consist of BYP alumni who are immersed in the ‘Music without Borders’ way of thinking and performing. The orchestra will have some 100 musicians coming from the Baltic countries, Denmark, Germany, Finland and Poland.
