The Eurovision Young Musicians 1994 was the seventh edition of the Eurovision Young Musicians, held at the Philharmonic Concert Hall in Warsaw, Poland, between 9 and 14 June 1994.[1] Organised by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and host broadcaster Telewizja Polska (TVP), musicians from eight countries participated in the televised final. A total of twenty-four countries took part in the competition therefore a semi-final was held in the same venue on 9 and 10 June 1994. Out of the 24 countries, 16 did not qualify to the final, including the host country Poland. All participants performed a classical piece of their choice accompanied by the Warsaw Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Kazimierz Kord.[1]
Seven countries made their début, while Greece returned and the Netherlands as well as Yugoslavia withdrew from the 1994 contest.[1] It is, to date, the contest with the most contestants and the one closest to matching the number of participants in that same year's Eurovision Song Contest, with 24 to the Song Contest's 25. It also had the most overlap of any year, as all but five countries also competed in that year's Song Contest (the exceptions being Belgium, Denmark, and Slovenia, who had been relegated from the 1994 contest, and Latvia and Macedonia, who would not debut there for several years; Bosnia and Herzegovina, Iceland, Malta, the Netherlands, Romania, and Slovakia didn't appear at the 1994 Young Musicians, but all save for Iceland would debut or return in the coming years).
The non-qualified countries were Austria, Belgium, Croatia, Cyprus, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Lithuania, Macedonia, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Russia, Slovenia and Spain. For the third time, the host country did not qualify for the final.[2] Natalie Clein of the United Kingdom won the contest, with Latvia and Sweden placing second and third respectively.[3]

The director of the institution is Wojciech Nowak.[4][5] It is the main venue of the Warsaw National Philharmonic Orchestra.
Since 1955, the institution organises the International Chopin Piano Competition. The building hosts the annual festival Warsaw Autumn.[6]
