MUS-E ON STAGE 5 days music residency and workshops for primary school-aged children in Leiria from January 25 until January 31. Through the collaboration between the International Yehudi Menuhin Foundation and its orchestra in residence (the Brussels Chamber Orchestra), and the Associação Yehudi Menuhin Portugal traditional musicians, MUSE ON STAGE will allow children from 2 primary school in the district of Leiria to experience music education by taking part in the residency and in the music co-creation.
Children will participate to the unique musical experience, alongside professional musicians from different backgrounds (classical orchestra music and traditional Portuguese music) as well as Celina da Piedade, a famous Portuguese composer, singer and accordeon player. These musicians will act as role models and children will be involved in the music-making, have a chance to discover a variety of musical instruments that are not usualy present in their daily life, experience the feeling of being part of a band/orchestra/choir, participate in the creation of a stage production and develop lifelong love of music.
