Join the Tivoli Youth Guard and embark on a unique musical journey

Tivoli Gardens' Guard accepts students from the age of 7, and the retirement age is 16.

It is not a requirement to play an instrument at the entrance exam, but applicants from the age of 9 will often already be able to play a wind instrument/percussion or have musical skills that can grant access to the entrance exam.

When joining the Tivoli Gardens' Standard Guard, there is no requirement to play an instrument.

The application deadline is May 20, 2025.
Auditions will be held subsequently.

Please note, that the language of sessions is in Danish.

Tivoli-Garden: Memories and Lifelong Learning

A Tivoli-Garden performer not only performs at Tivoli but can also be seen across Denmark and around the world. However, being part of the Tivoli-Garden requires significant time and energy from the performers and their families.

Through training, responsibility, and high expectations, young individuals leave Tivoli-Garden at the age of 16 as responsible and musically skilled individuals, equipped with experiences and skills applicable in many other contexts.
