What is the Erasmus Orchestra?
The Erasmus orchestra was created in March 2017, on the initiative of the Indire’s Erasmus agency on the occasion of the celebrations for the 30 years of the European mobility programme. The aim is to experiment an artistic project which thanks to the universal language of music would represent in the world the value of a Europe “united in diversity”. Last year the orchestra performed in Florence at the opening ceremony of Fair Didacta Italy and at Strasbourg University for the Erasmus days.
