Music project developers from all over Europe will be meeting in Osnabrück (Germany) from 10 to 14 September for the Second ‘Young EARopean Award’ & Festival. With concerts, conferences, podium discussions and the nominee showcase, ‘YEAH!’ is the most important European platform for music communication and education.

The festival starts with a world premiere: on 10 September the 50 members of the ‘Cor Infantil Amics de la Unió’ (Spain) and the percussion trio ‘Body Rhythm Factory’ (Denmark) will present the results of their work at the ‘YEAH!’ Camp with a choreographed choral-percussion concert. The nominated ‘Zonzo Compagnie’ will surprise the audience on 11 September with the multi-dimensional performance ‘Listen to the Silence – A Journey with John Cage’.
