What happens

Eurovision Young Musicians (French: L'Eurovision des Jeunes Musiciens), often shortened to EYM, or Young Musicians, is a classical music competition for musicians aged between 12 and 21. It is organised by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) between members of the union, who participate representing their countries. Some participating broadcasters hold national selections to choose its representative for the contest. The first edition of Eurovision Young Musicians took place in Manchester, United Kingdom on 11 May 1982, with six countries taking part. The contest was won by Markus Pawlik representing West Germany, who played the piano. The competition is held biennially; although the next contest will take place in 2027 (a year after the previous edition). The twenty-second and most recent edition took place in Yerevan, Armenia on 6 June 2026 and was won by Michał Stochel, who played the accordion for Poland. The next edition is scheduled to be held in Liepāja, Latvia. Austria is the most successful country in the contest, having won six times: in 1988, 1998, 2002, 2004, 2014, and 2024, and has hosted the contest a record six times. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
