Backed by the Sabancı Foundation, the Turkish National Youth Philharmonic Orchestra (TUGFO) celebrates 20 years of symphonic excellence with an epic anniversary tour sweeping across Türkiye and Europe.

According to a statement from the foundation, TUGFO, which operates under the Sevda-Cenap And Music Foundation with the support of the Sabancı Foundation, will meet audiences during its anniversary tour. Rönesans Health Investment has joined this year’s tour as the lead sponsor.

Held under the theme “The Magic of Music,” the concerts will be conducted by Cem Mansur.

Around 80 young musicians aged 16 to 22, selected through competitive auditions from conservatory applicants across Türkiye, will perform in this year’s orchestra.
