About the Project

1000+ Concerts: Innovating Higher Music Education through Social Inclusion is an ambitious vision of change in the classical music sector: it trains a new generation of musicians to understand themselves as an integral part of society and take responsibility for bringing live music to those least able to access it.

Through the implementation of the Musethica programme, the Project re-introduces the practice of performance at the centre of young musicians' development, emphasising the value of performance skills and audience engagement. Over the course of four years, ten European partner institutions join forces with over 120 social institutions — including hospitals, prisons, refugee centers, and schools for individuals with disabilities — to bring over 1.000 free concerts to a minimum of 40.000 marginalised audience members across Europe.
