Accademia degli Assetati – CHAMBER ORCHESTRA
To make a gift of culture is to make a gift of thirst. The rest is a consequence. – Antoine de Saint Exupery
The cultural volunteer organization Academia degli Assetati ODV aims to create a sense of thirst for culture in people and in the audience who participate in concerts, as well as in young musicians who actively collaborate in its initiatives.
The Orchestra of the Academia degli Assetati is composed of young talented musicians who enjoy performing together, offering their art, and receive lessons, advanced masterclasses with important musicians, scholarships, and support for their educational journey. The choice of refined programs, the enthusiasm, and professionalism of its young performers have allowed the orchestra to be appreciated and requested in important city organised events,
La nostra orchestra è molto più di un insieme di note: è un percorso condiviso, fatto di impegno, amicizia e voglia di migliorarsi ogni giorno
L’essenza dell’Accademia degli Assetati è tutta qui: creare una vera e propria esperienza musicale che sappia lasciare qualcosa dentro
