INDIRE Erasmus+ National Agency launched Erasmus Orchestra in 2017 to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Erasmus Programme. The Orchestra is composed of 50 young musicians from conservatories and music institutes from all over Italy who will perform Rossini, Donizetti, Mascagni, Puccini, Bizet and Beethoven.

Music and culture represent the ground to promote meeting and integration among different cultures, languages and people. Erasmus Orchestra is not stable in its structure but rather changes every time: in addition to musical skills it is required to draw out passion, ability to adapt, dialogue, comprehension and reciprocal listening, which are also key features of the Erasmus experience.
