Sounds of Change aims to develop an integrated professional development process for emerging European musicians in orchestral ambiance. This initiative is supported by the rise of professional opportunities, enhanced career visibility, and transnational mobility. It is based on a multidisciplinary artistic process that utilizes key environmental and sustainability topics. The project partners and all participants will develop their understanding of the differences between European regions by learning about the multiple facets of European identity, active citizenship, and a sense of belonging to a large European community. The focus is on common goals and concerns.
The goals include:
- Valorize and Disseminate European Cultural Diversity: Achieve this through artistic music projects developed via co-creation and co-production among participants, guest artists, and partners. Other performing and visual artistic fields are also considered for performances.
