The young "European Orchestra Academy" is a select ensemble founded by Iván Fischer and is affiliated with the Budapest Festival Orchestra. The Academy brings together outstanding young musicians from all over Europe. From April 26 to 30, three formations of the European Orchestra Academy will be guests in social institutions in Passau and the surrounding area, and will also perform in public concerts.
