Today it is regarded as the world's leading youth orchestra. As weil as the encouragement of the next musical generation and working with young musicians, it was of particular importance to him to enable young Austrian musicians to play with their colleagues from the then socialist republics of Czechoslovakia and Hungary. Thus, the GMJO became the first international youth orchestra to hold open auditions in the countries of the former Eastern bloc. In 1992, the GMJO opened up to musicians aged up to 26 from all over Europa. As the youth orchestra for the whole of Europe, it is under the patronage of the European Council. A jury authorized by Claudio Abbado makes its selection from the many candidates at auditions held in more than twenty-five European cities each year. The members of the jury are prominent orchestral players who continue to assist the orchestra with its musical program during the rehearsal period. The GMJO tour repertoire ranges from classical to contemporary music with the emphasis on the great symphonic works of the romantic and late romantic periods. Its high artistic level and international success have prompted many leading conductors and soloists to perform with the GMJO. The GMJO has been a regular guest at well-known concert events and festivals for several years, and many former members of the GMJO are now members of the leading European orchestras, same of them in leading positions.
