About the Concert

Under the direction of Tobias Engeli, the State Youth Orchestra of Saxony, together with the Children's Choir of the Leipzig Opera and the Petits Chanteurs de Lyon, presents an exciting program on stage: Messiaen's sonically intense "Les Offrandes oubliées" meets Mendelssohn's Symphony No. 2 "Lobgesang" – a combination of symphonic power and spiritual depth. Supported by soloists from the Leipzig University of Music, an evening between reflection and new beginnings is created – with fresh energy, grand sound, and touching moments.

Since 1992, the Landesjugendorchester Sachsen (LJO Sachsen, Saxony State Youth Orchestra) has been bringing together talented young classical musicians from across the Free State. During rehearsals, the 14- to 26-year-olds learn what it means to rely on others, to listen and to respond to one another. During two rehearsal periods per year, stylistically diverse programmes are rehearsed to a professional standard. For members who want to become professional musicians, their time in the LJO is an important step on their way.
