To experience such enthusiasm and energy radiating from a group of young, talented Swedish musicians fills one with wonder and awe at the sheer power of music: how it can instill hope, inspire change, and create a harmonious community. The encounter of young people from diverse nationalities always opens new windows of understanding of the world. I wish the members of the orchestra great success as they embark on their first visit to the United States.” - H.M. Silvia Queen of Sweden BLOG
