A new call for expressions of interest is now open for Higher Music Education Institutions of EU countries and Erasmus+ associated countries wishing to contribute to the expansion of the Erasmus Orchestra.
The new European call aims to create a European pool of eligible students to join the Orchestra for musical productions and institutional events in 2027.
The Orchestra will play a particularly significant role in the initiatives marking the 40th anniversary of the Erasmus Programme in 2027, serving as an ambassador of the Programme’s values, opportunities and impact and contributing to the celebration of four decades of European cooperation in education, training and mobility. The initiative is endorsed by the AEC.
The new call for expressions of interest is open exclusively for the following instruments:
- Violin
- Viola
- Double bass
- Bassoon
- Horn
- Percussion/Timpani
Each institution may nominate up to 3 students by submitting an online application by 5 November 2026 (23:59 CET).
Priority will be given to students who have completed or are currently undertaking an Erasmus+ study mobility.
Important: the existing student lists will remain valid throughout 2027. The new call for expressions of interest is intended to expand and consolidate the European pool of musicians available to the Erasmus Orchestra, without replacing the existing one.
