What Is Eurovision Young Musicians?
Eurovision Young Musicians is an EBU-coordinated classical-instrumental competition for emerging performers ages 12-21. The international event is produced by a participating public-service broadcaster. Students do not apply to one central EBU portal: a broadcaster must choose a representative through its own selection process, which can impose narrower nationality, residence, age, instrument, repertoire, recording, and deadline rules.
The 2026 edition brought one performer from each of 11 broadcasters to Yerevan. The international jury assessed technical accuracy, tone/sound quality, musicality and interpretation, and performance/communication. Instruments included violin, clarinet, marimba, piano, flute, and accordion. The winner received the title, trophy, and a performance invitation with the Armenian National Philharmonic Orchestra; that prize was edition-specific.
