Youth Orchestra and Choir Professional Academies is a project led by the International Ancient Music Centre Foundation CIMA, established by Jordi Savall in 1997, and supported by the European Union. The project aims to recover and celebrate the European musical heritage by training new generations of musicians and supporting them to reach the professional concert scene in Europe.
