First Glimpse
For BISYOC 2026, we are planning a symphonic orchestra. The aim for our repertoire will continue to embrace diversity in the programme, intentionally featuring contemporary pieces, highlighting the works of women composers, and including cherished classical orchestral works. As always, to further enrich the BISYOC experience, we’re creating a selection of intercultural activities that will not only be great fun but also form a strong sense of community and shared identity among our young musicians.
When & Where
DATES
The course will take place in the summer of 2026 around the turn of July and August. From 28.07.2026 to 09.08.2026. Mark your calendars!
LOCATION
The event will be hosted at the Jugendkloster Ahmsen, a former monastery in northern Germany that has been transformed into a welcoming educational and meeting centre.
Located in a somewhat secluded area, this lodging offers comfortable accommodations, practical facilities for rehearsals, and a calm atmosphere that fosters learning and intercultural exchange.
Concerts
The concerts are set to take place in:
- Forum Hasetal, Löningen – 07.08.2026
- Alte Weberei Nordhorn – 08.08.2026 Get Tickets here!
Crowdfunding
Beyond our institutional supporters, we also depend on individual donations to make this possible.
Our crowdfunding campaign is now live and you can contribute here. Every act of support is truly appreciated.
Your donation allows us to:
- Keep our 2026-course fees affordable for all participants.
- Offer bursaries for musicians who could not otherwise attend.
- Bring symphonic concerts to towns and villages that rarely experience live orchestral music.
- Give young musicians the chance to collaborate across borders, building lifelong friendships and promoting international understanding and fostering cultural exchange.
- Provide mentorship from professional musicians and conductors, offering guidance, inspiration, and career development to the next generation.
