YYO to Perform at Al Bustan Festival

The Yerevan Youth Orchestra will travel to Lebanon to participate in the Al Bustan International Festival of Music and the Performing Arts 2026, one of the country’s most important cultural events.

Taking place from February 24 to March 22, the Festival returns for its 32nd edition under the theme Family & Friends, celebrating music as a shared language — shaped by heritage, artistic exchange, and the human connections that unite musicians across generations, cultures, and borders.

Bringing together internationally acclaimed artists and ensembles, the festival presents a diverse program spanning symphonic, chamber, and vocal repertoire. Within this context, the participation of the Yerevan Youth Orchestra reflects the growing role of young musicians in international cultural dialogue, emphasizing continuity, mentorship, and the exchange of artistic experience.
