Project: I COM – Involving Children in Orchestral Music

Concept resume: The canon’s orchestral music was mostly made for adults and at a time when music was rare. Despite its relevance to the history of world music, in recent decades, the orchestral music audience has aged and this type of grouping has been removed from younger audiences.

This project intends to create, in partnership with other organizations, a set of orchestral works dedicated to children and youth (students between 4 and 12 years old), in order to bring this age groups closer to instruments of orchestra and orchestral music. In addition, a set of teaching tools will be created to attract young people to music and the rich European cultural heritage.

General objective: To promote the Audience Development of children, in order to bring this age group closer to instruments of orchestra and orchestral music, both an epitome of Europe’s cultural heritage.
