In November 2018, a new generation of EuroStrings Artists, young professionals, winners of international competitions of the festivals that are members of the EuroStrings Platform, visited baroque castle Luznica in Zapresic (Croatia) for their first EuroStrings meeting.

Through the EuroStrings Exchange Programme, these artists are awarded a year-long touring program, focusing on festival visits within Europe, following a carefully curated program called EuroStrings Curriculum. This program involves work with professionals from the field called EuroStrings Ambassadors and other industry specialists in developing geared workshops, teaching, community outreach, chamber and solo appearances. At the end of the year-long program, a big EuroStrings Competition will be organized for them, offering to only one of them the chance to continue the tour globally in the following year. EuroStrings Artists are the staple of EuroStrings excellence and are the future of our instrument.
