Hanse Guitar Festival | Auftaktkonzert “20 Jahre JugendGitarrenOrchester Hamburg” Classical Music

Hamburg Youth Guitar Orchestra | With the Hamburg Youth Guitar Orchestra, the JGOH Junior Team North, and the JGOH Junior Team East (founded in 2020), GitarreHamburg – a recognized provider of independent youth services since 2025 – organizes three free ensemble opportunities for Hamburg's children and young people. In recent years, the members have won well over 300 prizes in the "Jugend musiziert" competition, including first prizes with the highest possible score in the national finals. In 2025, the "unofficial" youth guitar ensemble of the Hanseatic city was awarded first place in the German Orchestra Competition, where it had already been among the prize winners in 2012. In 2011, 2015, 2019, and 2024, it won first prize four times in a row at the state orchestra competition "Orchestrale." In addition to concerts at the Elbphilharmonie, Laeiszhalle, Rolf Liebermann Studio, and the Fabrik, and tours both in Germany and abroad, the young ensemble has garnered attention with six self-produced CDs and DVDs. With the JGOH Junior Teams East and North, it also has two of its own youth ensembles, where children can prepare for later participation in the "adult" JGOH.
