One of the most common approaches when working with young musicians are the concert promotions. The normal concert season for JMM is between September and July, e.g. the current academic year. Several types of concerts can be distinguished among the JMM concert production:

1. Concerts with well renowned, semi-professional or professional young artists;
2. Concerts with school or professional (young) small chamber ensembles;
3. Choir or large ensemble concerts;
4. School concerts:

• concerts for young audiences;
• concerts given by young musicians, as part of their education (semi-final or final examinations, graduating concerts);

5. First public concert experience;

Most of these concerts are organized throughout the country, as part of small concert tours organized by, or in co-operation with the JMM local sections and music schools. Regular co-operation in that sence exists with the Music and Ballet School Center and the Faculty of Music Arts in Skopje.
The JMM concert season is also internationally oriented, thus inviting young musicians or small ensembles from the countries in the region to perform in Macedonia.
Furthermore, renowned young musicians are encouraged to apply for concert presentations abroad, through JMM partners and collaborating organizations. 

For additional details on organizing concert tours in Macedonia or abroad, please contact the National JMM Secretariat.

 JMM also strives to develop a concert presentation policy that will enable even more young musicians to take part in the activities that foster better professional surrounding and public presentation skills. In that manner, JMM, in co-operation with the Music and Ballet association of Macedonia organized the International Manifestation “Musicians of the New Millenium” at the end of 1999, inviting young musicians and professors from South Eastern Europe for performances and discussing the higher quality of the music talents promotion.

The development of the music education, thus discovering many talented young musicians, fostered the huge international affirmation, with more than 100 awards on international music competitions in the last decade. The JMM are following those achievements through more than 50 concerts with the award-winners, organized throughout Macedonia during the season. It’s highlight is the Ohrid Summer Festival Youth Podium, where JMM engage young musicians to perform as part of the official Festival’s program. For 26 years, it was held before the official start of the Festival, and as of this year, it has been incorporated within its duration.

The JMM Youth Podium became an elite representation program of the youngest and best Macedonian musicians. Furthermore, it also became an activity that presents young generations of musicians from foreign countries being invited to perform in Ohrid (the region of South-Eastern Europe, USA, Cyprus, Russia, Japan, Turkey, Germany and France).

Conducting successfully this activity, JMM have become the first promoter of musicians who, today represent the music elite of the Macedonian music interpretation.
