The Underground Youth Orchestra (UYO) with more than twelve years of active artistic presence is one of the most important youth symphony orchestras in Greece.
Since 2016 she has been active abroad, collaborating with German universities and institutions. In 2019, following an honorary invitation, she participates in the Young Euro Classic International Festival of Youth Orchestras, conducted by Christoph Eschenbach, an invitation given for the first time to a Greek youth symphony orchestra.
The goal of the Underground Youth Orchestra is to offer young talented musicians the opportunity to train in the orchestral art by participating in high level concerts in Greece and abroad, with famous conductors and soloists. At the same time, it offers the opportunity for the artistic development of its talented members through their solo performances with the orchestra and their participation in master classes with selected teachers from Europe.
UYO ensures the free participation of its members in its artistic and educational programmes. By certifying the participation of its members in its activities, it makes a decisive contribution to the further educational development of talented musicians abroad.
The rehearsals of the orchestra take place at the Megaron Athens Concert Hall and are coordinated by the orchestra’s training team, which ensures a high level of preparation.
Founder, conductor and artistic director of the orchestra is Costas Eliades.
Co-Founder is Efstathia Papagergopoulou
Music Director and conductor is Stathis Karapanos
