The 25th Young Euro Classic Festival in Berlin, held from August 9 to 25, 2024, featured a remarkable collaboration among young musicians from Germany, France, and the Czech Republic. The festival's highlight was  the Junior Academy Germany-France-Czech Republic, where musical talents aged 4 to 19 will come together to rehearse and perform a diverse program that pays homage to the classical traditions of their respective countries.

The Junior Academy is a testament to the cultural exchange and cooperation among these nations, and its success is significantly supported by the Embassy of the Czech Republic in Berlin. The festival featured the Ševčík Academy Orchestra, which is part of the "Year of Czech Music 2024." and special children's symphony, composed by Jiří Kabát specifically for the academy, highlights the Czech Republic's dedication to showcasing its musical talent on the international stage.

The premiere of the Junior Academy's special string orchestra, featuring the children's symphony, took  place on Sunday, August 19, 2024, at 13:30 in the Konzerthaus Berlin, Great Hall. This event is not only a celebration of the diverse musical traditions of the participating countries but also a tribute to the Czech Embassy's pivotal role in facilitating such a significant cultural exchange..
