MUSA | RE-LIVE THE FIRST STAGE
MUSA – European young MUsicians soft Skills Alliance is a European vocational training project for young string quartets. It aims to provide them with entrepreneurial knowledge, skills and competences that are usually missing in their curriculum although fundamental for their professional career.
Co-financed by the program Erasmus+ of the European Union, the project MUSA develops in three steps: September 2021 in Italy, October 2021 in Portugal, May 2022 in France.
Live with us, wit our partners and with the Quartets all the emotions and the most beautiful moments of the first stage of the project in Italy, thanks to the documentary below:
September 27 – October 2, 2021 | Bergamo & Milan
The Quartets that have taken part in the first stage of the project are Ãtma Quartet, Azalaïs Quartet, Belinfante Quartet and Quatuor Gabriële. They have played concerts at Castello di Lurano, Villa Pesenti Agliardi and Villa Vitalba Lurani Cernuschi, where they have also been hosted for the whole week of activities. The workshops and lectures have taken place at IED – Istituto Europeo di Design.
