Sounds of Change

ongoing

SOUNDS OF CHANGE aims to develop an integrated professional development process for emerging European musicians in orchestral ambience, supported by the rising of professional opportunities, the upgrading of careers visibility and transnational mobility, supported on a multidisciplinary artistic process with the exploitation of key environmental and sustainability topics. SOUNDS OF CHANGE activities includes 4 cycles where selected artists will face the opportunity to have professional development experiences at the orchestra academy, focusing not only the training for musical skills and personal and professional growth, but also complementary levels of contact with professional music festivals and venues promoting opportunities and concrete working experience. The first and second cycles will follow a classic orchestra academy, with the performance of an original piece by a European composer, while the performative layers will be developed for the cycles 3 and 4. SOUNDS OF CHANGE aims to promote the arts as a tool to challenge the new generations to think about the future of Europe, supporting the sustainable evolution of a society united in diversity that faces new concerns with the cities sustainable planning and the Environment. The participants and the partners teams will understand the differences between European regions, focusing on the multiple faces of the European identity, the active citizenship, and the sense of belonging to a large European community with common goals and concerns. The arts will be used as a strong tool for social transformation, by interpersonal sharing, training, and personal evolution. New musical compositions and multidisciplinary performative outputs will be developed, giving extra layers to the orchestral dimension. The thematic focus is the European dimension and the environmental priorities (green planning/touring) and social transformation by the arts, recognizing the European values and the artistic work as tools for change.
