Live-Casting in Cottbus: The stage is waiting for young musical talents
On September 26, 2026, the Conservatory of Cottbus will open its doors for a public live casting for the Song- & Dance-Contest of the European Youth Musical Festival 2027. Singing and dance soloists up to 21 years of age will present their skills before a professional jury and gain valuable stage experience in the concert hall.
Musical Nachwuchs in the spotlight
The focus is on two prepared songs from the musical repertoire. Vocal soloists will showcase their vocal arrangement, musical precision, and expressiveness, while dancers will impress with technique, body control, and stage presence. The live atmosphere of the conservatory transforms each presentation into a special moment filled with stage fright, energy, and artistic concentration.
Professional jury gives personal feedback
After the performance, all participants will receive detailed feedback from the professional jury. They will be evaluated on voice or dance technique, expression, and stage performance. For young musical talents, the casting thus offers not only a qualification opportunity but also a professional assessment of their individual strengths.
Wildcard for the European Youth Musical Festival 2027
From all live castings and additionally submitted video contributions, the jury will select ten singers and ten dancers each. The selected talents will receive a wildcard for the European Youth Musical Festival from October 13 to 17, 2027, in Cottbus. This includes participation in workshops, access to all festival events, and a performance in the finals of the Song- & Dance-Contest.
Public concert experience with a focus on talent
The casting is publicly accessible and allows the audience a direct look at the next generation of the musical scene. Amid singing, dance, orchestration, and precise stage performance, an inspiring atmosphere emerges that makes talent promotion palpable.
Conclusion: The live casting at the Conservatory of Cottbus combines competition, youth promotion, and true musical feeling. Visitors will experience young artists at a pivotal moment in their development. Entry is free – an ideal opportunity to discover new voices and strong stage personalities early on.
