The Young Sound Forum of Central Europe was created in 2000 when a group of talented young musicians came together in Germany to form an orchestra aiming to play outstanding pieces of contemporary music.

In 2003 the orchestra undertook a "Concert for Terezin" in the Czech town of Theresienstadt at the National Socialist concentration camp with a collaboration of Czech musicians. Polish young musicians joined them later and the Forum became an orchestra connecting more than 50 members of those three countries. They meet for work phases and intensive rehearsals before concerts. In 2005 a concert took place in the International Meeting Place in castle Kreisau in Poland. This was the main meeting place of the so-called Kreisauer Circle, the most important resistance group against Adolf Hitler and the National Socialist regime. In September 2005, they performed in Tokyo and Osaka.
