Through this collaboration, its musicians are given the opportunity to perform alongside other youth orchestras as part of the MusXchange exchange programme, which is supported by the European Union\u2019s Creative Europe Programme. A major milestone in the orchestra\u2019s history was its performance at Carnegie Hall in New York, where it received outstanding reviews (3 November 2024).  <\/p>\n\n<p>AIGEA AMKE has been actively supporting the activities of ELSON since 2021.
