The Young Philharmonic Orchestra has several important educational and musical purposes: it enables outstanding young musicians, whose training focuses on solo playing, to discover the magic of making music together and experiencing the tremendous energy inherent in the orchestral body, where the whole is greater than the sum of its parts; it gives the participants an opportunity to get to know the symphonic repertoire; it provides them with the skills needed to continue their journey and to perform in public in Israel; it instills in them motivation and enthusiasm; and at the same time it serves as an example and inspiration for all the youth orchestras and young musicians in Israel.
