MUS-E ON STAGE virtual choir

MUS-E ON STAGE improves the accessibility to music education and learning for primary school-aged children who come from underpriviledged and migrant backgrounds in Europe. The project involves 150+ children from Portugal, Belgium, Cyprus, Hungary, Italy and Spain interacting with 15 professional musicians in face-to-face music workshops.

Creation of a virtual choir of children

MUS-E Belgium, Fundación Yehudi Menuhin España, MUS-E Italy, MUS-E Cyprus and MUS-E Hungary – have committed to implement music sessions for 15 hours in one school per participating country. The music sessions will be aimed at piloting the on-line musical resources and to the co-creation of a choir of children in each country on the same musical piece. Each contribution of the MUS-E organizations will be gathered and assembled to create a virtual choir involving 50 children from different European countries and reflecting European diversity and beauty through music.  IYMF, with the support of the Embassy of Portugal in Belgium, will present the virtual choir with live musicians on the occasion of its annual concert in Brussels after the end of the project.
