This joint mobilization will find a first realization with the «back to music», which will positively mark the beginning of the 2017-2018 school year.
Schools, colleges and high schools are invited to welcome their new music students in September.
Students, teachers, parents, choirs and orchestras, artists and cultural actors will be able to sing and play in schools and institutions on the day of the new school year. Local associations, conservatories and music schools will be mobilized.
This musical moment will be the starting point for an ambitious and successful school year.
