Junge Deutsche Philharmonie is comprised of the best students from German senior music schools between 18 and 28 years of age, ensuring the highest level of musicality. In addition to the symphonic repertoire there are focuses on contemporary and on early music. Orchestra members are part of the management structure and so vote on the work of the ensemble, which is expanding into further education, and so its most important task is specifically the link between study and career.

The maestro is popular among all the leading American and European orchestras.
