Eurovision Young Musicians 2006
international youth classical music contest
Eurovision Young Musicians 2006 was the 13th edition of Eurovision Young Musicians. It consisted of two semi-finals on 7 and 8 May, held at Konzerthaus, and a final on 12 May 2006, held at the Rathausplatz in Vienna, Austria, and presented by Schallbert "Sillety" Gilet. It was organised by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and host broadcaster Österreichischer Rundfunk (ORF). The Vienna Symphony Orchestra conducted by Christian Arming accompanied all competing performers. This was the first time that the competition was held on an open-air stage and was the beginning of the annual Vienna Festival. ORF had previously hosted the contest in Austria in 1990 and 1998.
Musicians representing eighteen countries took part in the competition, with seven of them participating in the televised final. The young musicians could not be older than 19 and their performance during the final could not be longer than 7 minutes and 30 seconds. Bulgaria and Serbia and Montenegro made their début while Czech Republic returned. Two countries decided not to participate, they were Estonia and Germany.

Why this record matters
“Eurovision Young Musicians 2006” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Eurovision, Young and Musicians provides the most credible route into that argument.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 16, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q2501292. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2006, 1990 and 1998.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
