The concerts conclude a three-day camp held at OSU, comprising 464 youth musicians from across the state. Students, nominated by their music teachers for partipation, spend three days in intense music rehearsals and meetings to prepare for an international performance tour led by a team of professional music educators from Oregon high schools, middle schools and universities. Following the concerts, the students and staff will embark on the 14-day concert tour, with planned performances in France, Switzerland, Austria and Germany.
The Oregon Ambassadors of Music has been taking outstanding Oregon high school students, nominated by their music directors, to select countries in Europe since 1995, with a goal to share our love of life and peace and represent Oregon as Ambassorors of Music.
