Every year, 50 young musicians aged 14 to 18 from all 26 EU countries, Switzerland and Great Britain are invited to a 10-day orchestra workshop, lectures on the role of the European Union and the music history of the Mannheim School and on Mozart's stay at the Electoral Palatinate Court in Mannheim and Schwetzingen.

The festival currently ends with two public concerts in Schwetzingen Palace and Mannheim. For the years 2022 and following, concerts are planned at European locations under the motto " on Mozart's ways“. The organisers are the Heidelberg-based association "Kultur@Home Metropol Rhein-Neckar e.V." and the Rotary Club Mannheim-Rhein-Neckar.
