SOUNDS OF CHANGE, 2022-2026 – is a European collaborative project that aims to cultivate an integrated professional development process for emerging European musicians in the orchestral field, supported by enhancing professional opportunities, increasing career visibility and transnational mobility, underpinned by a multidisciplinary artistic process with the use of key environmental and sustainability issues.
Inspired by the creation of an International Music Academy with the motto “Connecting through Music for Maribor – European Capital of Culture 2012”, that was established by the Culture Association BSA, the Sounds of Change EU project will build on this successful project, adding new layers and dimensions. Together with our partners from Portugal, Spain, Germany and Serbia, we aim to promote the arts as a tool to challenge the new generations to reflect on the future of Europe and to use this powerful tool for social transformation through interpersonal exchange, training, and personal development.
Our objective in this project is to enhance and nurture the co-creation of contemporary Slovenian and European culture. Our successful projects such as “Connecting through Music for Maribor, 2009-2012” and “Music Up Close Network, 2016-2020” have proven that we are a link between world-class artists and young musicians who are taking their first steps toward their professional careers. In Sounds of Change, we promote an artistic capacity building programme, focusing on artistic and technical skills for musical performance as well as stage design and cross-disciplinary performing tools.

MUSIC UP CLOSE Network – povezovanje orkestralne glasbe z mladim občinstvom je večletni projekt sodelovanja. Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia je promotor in koordinator mreže z drugimi prestižnimi evropskimi orkestri in organizacijami za usposabljanje in mednarodno umetniško mobilnost. Sodelujoče ustanove to pobudo obravnavajo kot pilotno mrežo sodelovanja za eksperimentiranje in izmenjavo novih strategij in pristopov za povezovanje orkestrske glasbe z mladim občinstvom. Cilj projekta je izvajanje aktivnosti, ki jih vodijo naslednje prioritete:
- Sodelovanje z nekaterimi najboljšimi evropskimi orkestri, kot so Nizozemski filharmonični orkester, Orkester National de Lille, Barcelonski simfonični orkester, Sarajevski filharmonični orkester, Črnogorski simfonični orkester in Ljubljanski mednarodni orkester, da bi naročili nova orkestralna dela še živečih skladateljev in podprli dela in umetnike na evropski in mednarodni ravni.
- Razvijanje in deljenje nove strategije za doseganje mladega občinstva, zlasti z nekaterimi balkanskimi državami, kot so Slovenija, Bosna in Hercegovina ter Črna gora, ki spodbujajo glasbene koprodukcije z inovativnimi formati in vključujejo mladinske orkestrske zasedbe, tudi z uporabo digitalnih tehnologij in drugih oblik umetnosti.
- Omogočiti strokovne pobude za usposabljanje in izobraževanje mladih glasbenikov za pridobivanje veščin za delovanje na mednarodni ravni s programom Professional Orchestral Training and Music Management v sodelovanju s Kulturnim društvom BSA v Ljubljani. Program ponuja mladim glasbenim talentom, ki so mednarodno izbrani, možnost za pridobivanje umetniških izkušenj v spodbudnem okolju. Izvajal se bo tudi program izmenjave delovnih izkušenj, ki bo strokovnjakom omogočil pridobivanje “poklicnih izkušenj” v drugih evropskih orkestrskih institucijah in izmenjavo njihovih metodologij.
