On November 15, 2023, the Filarmónica Joven de Colombia delivered a powerful performance of Dmitri Shostakovich’s Symphony No. 5 at Victoria Hall in Geneva, under the baton of Andrés Orozco Estrada. This concert was part of their major European tour, which also included performances at iconic venues such as the Philharmonie de Paris and the Berliner Philharmonie.

The performance was further enriched by choreography from Martin Buczko and Soraya Bruno, whose work added a compelling visual narrative to Shostakovich’s emotionally charged symphony. Supported by Fundación Bolívar Davivienda, the tour aimed to present the unique energy and talent of young Latin American musicians on Europe’s most prestigious stages. It was a testament to the dedication, artistry, and cultural vibrancy of the Filarmónica Joven de Colombia, often known as #LaJoven, which continues to innovate and breathe new life into classical music traditions while representing Colombian talent worldwide.
