Grafenegg, 13 June 2025 Dear Minister Purga,

Honorary Committee of the European Union Youth Orchestra We are delighted that you have kindly accepted to join the Honorary Committee of the European Union Youth Orchestra. Please accept our most heartfelt thanks, and for your kind words about our mission to nurture Europe’s most gifted young musicians. Your support enables us to do what we do, fostering - as you say - talent and unity through music. I would also like to thank you personally and most warmly for the safe receipt of Estonia’s grant to the European Union Youth Orchestra of €6.500,00 in 2025. I am delighted that you enjoyed our 2024 annual yearbook and 2025 activity update, and I look forward to sending you our 2025 Yearbook early next year, in which of course your Honorary Committee Membership will be listed. We are now getting ready for our summer tour, the biggest project of our season. If you would like VIP tickets for our tour concerts, please do not hesitate to contact my colleague Helen Leitner ([email protected]). I also invite you to follow our activities in real time on our social media, such as Instagram and LinkedIn. Yours sincerely,

Marshall Marcus Executive & Artistic Director
