It was a remarkable premiere: the first German youth folk orchestra played its first performance at the Rudolstadt Festival 2024.
The film documentary takes us back to the rehearsals and, of course, backstage.
It was filmed during the rehearsal week in Bad Blankenburg and the performances at the festival.

The youth folk orchestra will also be back at Rudolstadt-Festival 2025 again. The application deadline for those interested is the end of November!

You can find the documentary, information and link on the Jugendfolkorchester.de

‘It is remarkable that it does not incorporate Anglo-Saxon standards à la Drunken Sailor or Wild Rover in its stage programme, but instead focuses on lesser known German songs and melodies that are worth rediscovering,’ wrote Frauke Adrians in ‘Das Orchester’ about the youth folk orchestra's performance.

An exclusive, detailed report on the premiere at the festival can also be found in the magazine Folker.World online.
