history
The “ Festival of Young Artists Bayreuth ”, founded by Herbert Barth in 1950 under the patronage of Jean Sibelius , is established as a non-profit organization under its founding name “ Internationales Jugend-Festspieltreffen Bayreuth e. V. ”. To date , around 25,000 young people from 80 nations have come to Bayreuth in the course of this festival, which the writer Martin Gregor-Dellin called the “rehearsal stage for the youth of the world”.
Since 1986 Sissy Thammer, the "Woman of Europe" 1997, has been artistic director and manager of the festival.
Festival 2010
The theme of the 2010 festival was "Turning times - turning times". In the project “Ways to Parsifal”, Vladimir Ivanoff initiated a musical dialogue between musicians from Europe and from Arab countries, between Occident and Orient, who together tried to musically reinterpret the old material that is linked to both cultures. Specialists in medieval music from European and Arab cultures as well as representatives of various Arab cultures were included.
In addition, the premiere of a comedy by Richard Wagner took place: "A surrender - comedy in an ancient manner" in an arrangement by Georgios Kapoglou and Kristin Päckert . Wagner wrote the text during the Franco-Prussian War of 1870/1871 , but never set it to music. The new setting was taken on by the young composer Paul Leonard Schäffer as a work commissioned by the festival.
A symphony concert with Gustav Mahler's Adagio from the 10th symphony in F sharp major , Alban Berg's violin concerto “In memory of an angel ” and Béla Bartók's concerto for orchestra were also part of the program.
