The Samnium Youth Orchestra was created by the will of Maestro Arturo Armellino and Maestro Marcello Abbado. It was founded in 2015 for the 2015-2016 tour held in China; about 50 musicians from all over Europe were selected for the occasion. One of the many reasons why we founded Samnium was to give the possibility to any musician, all over the world, to get in touch and make music together. In a word: promoting music in the world through the foundation of a permanent and stable orchestra.
