In 2006 fifteen young guitarists and their guitarteacher Christian Moritz founded a YouthGuitarOrchestra named JugendGitarrenOrchester-Hamburg (JGOH). Up till now the JGOH is one of germanys leading youth guitar orchestras and gave many concerts in Germany. In 2012 the young ensemble produced its second CD. The JGOH and its single members were very successful in several german competitions like "Deutscher Orchesterwettbewerb - German Orchestra Competition" or "Jugend musiziert". The orchestra and its members learned and worked with artists like David Russell, Andrew York, Prof. Thomas Offermann, the Los Angeles Guitar Quartet, Carlo Marchione, the Amadeus Guitar Duo, Michael Tröster and many others. In 2013 the YouthGuitarOrchestra Hamburg presented an unusual and unique show-program named "JGOH unplugged - The Power of Acoustic Guitar": Tango Argentino by Máximo Diego Pujol or baroque music by Antonio Vivaldi met Metallica, Michael Jackson, film music by Howard Shore or the virtuosos variations on Pachelbel, composed by the grammy awarded Los Angeles Guitar Quartet and lead into a "Riff Battle", in which the JGOH "shredded" through the most famous riffs of rock history. In addition to choreography and fog machines, black lights and special effects were used and made the concert memorable. The show concerts were recorded on 21st and 22nd of September 2013 and are published as a movie on DVD and Blu-ray.
