The Eurovision Young Musicians 2002 was the eleventh edition of the Eurovision Young Musicians, held at Konzerthaus in Berlin, Germany, on 19 June 2002.[1] Organised by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and host broadcaster Zweites Deutsches Fernsehen (ZDF), musicians from seven countries participated in the televised final. A total of twenty countries took part in the competition.[2] All participants performed a classical piece of their choice accompanied by the Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin, conducted by Marek Janowski.[1] Romania made their début while Italy returned to the contest for the first time since 1990.[1]

Dalibor Karvay of Austria won the contest, with United Kingdom and Slovenia placing second and third respectively.[3]

It is the home to the Konzerthausorchester Berlin symphony orchestra.
