Jeunesses Musicales Deutschland e.V. promotes international understanding and musical education for young musicians. With a variety of courses, competitions, and international encounters, the organization creates a vibrant cultural community and supports talents worldwide.
The Jeunesses Musicales Deutschland e.V. (JMD) is the German section of the world's largest musical youth cultural organization, Jeunesses Musicales International (JMI). Founded in 1950 in Bayreuth under the name "Musical Youth of Germany", the association was renamed Jeunesses Musicales Deutschland e.V. in 1992 to emphasize a close connection to the international world association[2][3].
The JMD is a non-profit organization aimed at promoting international understanding and supporting young musicians. It provides a platform for international encounters and musical education to motivate and support young people. The values of the JMD are based on the belief that music is a universal language that connects people across borders. The work of the JMD is guided by the principles of community, responsibility, and cultural diversity[3].
The JMD is actively engaged in musical education and the promotion of young musicians. This includes:
The JMD is active through its members, volunteers, and employees in its state associations and the secretariat in Weikersheim. Renowned musicians, university lecturers, and representatives of the cultural economy support the goals of the JMD and advocate for the interests of young musicians[3].
The Jeunesses Musicales Deutschland e.V. is thus a central institution in German musical life, promoting a vibrant and international musical community through its diverse activities and initiatives.
