Erasmus Orchestra – European call 2023 – 2025
The Erasmus Orchestra is the first and unique orchestra formed by Erasmus students. It is an initiative undertaken by the Erasmus+ Italian National Agency (INDIRE – National Institute for Documentation, Innovation and Educational Research). This pilot project is based on the idea of a traveling ensemble which, thanks to the universal language of music and art, could represent the value of a common European identity that resonates in harmony. The first edition of this project took place in the framework of the 30th anniversary of the Erasmus Programme in 2017. Since then, the Orchestra has performed over 15 times in prestigious venues in Europe and beyond, involving over 20 Italian Conservatoires and 200 Erasmus students in a professional and pedagogical international experience.
The value of the Orchestra in promoting Erasmus+ opportunities has been welcomed as a good practice Erasmus+ programme stakeholders , beneficiaries and general public. For this reason, the Erasmus+ Italian National Agency decided to open up the initiative to Higher Music Education Institutions in all EU Member States and Third countries associated to the Erasmus+ Programme.
The initiative is supported by the Association Européenne des Conservatoires, Académies de Musique et Musikhochschulen (AEC), which has embraced the project, conferring prestige, visibility and promotion at a European level.
As a result of the selection, a pool of suitable candidates at European level will be put together with the aim of choosing musicians for the various activities of the Erasmus Orchestra 2023/25. The list of suitable candidates will be composed through a selection of the applications sent by Higher Music Education Institutions. Each institution is invited to send a list of maximum of 5 Erasmus students by 18th September 2023 by filling in the online application form. Applications sent directly by the students will not be taken into consideration.
