This annual international festival brings together industry professionals (producers, programmers, bookers, organizers) from over 20 countries, making it the world’s premier platform for young audiences’ music. YAMsession is the perfect place for artists to be seen and booked by key young audience programmers from Europe and beyond.


We’re looking for dynamic live music productions featuring up to 5 artists/performers that can adapt to both school tours and theatre settings. If your production has international potential and you’re ready to connect with a global network of programmers, this is your opportunity!


Check out the full conditions and apply via this link. Don't miss your chance to bring your music to young audiences worldwide!



Here’s what musicians say about YAM session:

  • We had an intense and good time at YAMsession 2024 in Bodø with lots of interesting encounters and new people to connect with. Everything was working well regarding logistics, timetable, venue and the children participating as an extra audience for the performances. We also feel grateful about the wonderful feedback we got after our showcase!” - Karin Nakagawa (Momonga, Sweden)
  • "Being part of the YAMsession was a great experience! We got a lot of concert requests on that account - more than we can actually play, so that was really positive. I can highly recommend a trip to wherever the YAMsession is taking place! It's a great event and a great show window for young audience musicians." Rune Thorsteinsson (Body Rhythm Factory, Denmark)
