Joseph Avilia (pianist of the Tocuyito Trio) on the Jeunesse-Oorkaan-Academy: "For me, participating in the Jeunesse-Oorkaan-Academy was the perfect introduction to a world of creative possibilities in which I now feel at home. It broadened my professional outlook and gave me extra pleasure in making music."
