About the 31th Toyota Youth Orchestra Camp (TYOC)
１．「Toyota Youth Orchestra Camp」Purpose
Toyota Youth Orchestra Camp was created through the initiative of The Federation of Japan Amateur
Orchestras Corp. and the support of Toyota Motor Corporation. The objective of the project is to foster
musical education and give a chance to young performers to hone their skills under the guidance of
experienced artists and teachers. That project started in 1985 and is now headed towards its 31th edition.
The camp offers opportunity for youth interested in orchestral playing to get their guidance from top-notch
professionals in the field of music but also in the field of orchestra management. As these camps are
organized in different places every year their purpose is to leave behind, at the local level, youngster who
will be able not only to play but also to manage local orchestras. To attend the camp will also provide a rare
opportunity to make friends and establish relations for the future through attending seminars, rehearsals,
lectures and ultimately perform together at concerts.
The curriculum is based on two years attendance units and this second year is when the results of the
training are gleaned at a special concert. In order to promote development of those activities at the local
level a separate program:
The Toyota Music Friends Gathering. Program has also been established.
