Activities
The Orpheum Foundation for the Advancement of Young Soloists promotes, documents and publicises the artistic work of young, highly talented musicians from the field of classical music. At the International Orpheum Music Festival for the Advancement of Young Soloists, held every two years in Zurich and Basel, the selected artists are given the opportunity to perform concerts with well-known conductors and orchestras both to an audience and to expert groups, thereby gaining experience at the highest professional level and building up important relationships. Decisions about inclusion in the Orpheum Advancement Programme are taken by the Artistic Director, on the basis of recommendations by mentors who are associated with the foundation.

Famous quotes containing the word activities:
“As life developed, I faced each problem as it came along. As my activities and work broadened and reached out, I never tried to shirk. I tried never to evade an issue. When I found I had something to do—I just did it.”
—Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962)
“Justice begins with the recognition of the necessity of sharing. The oldest law is that which regulates it, and this is still the most important law today and, as such, has remained the basic concern of all movements which have at heart the community of human activities and of human existence in general.”
—Elias Canetti (b. 1905)
