Side by Side 2016

Side by Side 2016. Later this year, the children of the Harmonie Foundation Orchestra will go to Sweden for the second time in its history to attend a global music youth camp! The children will have a great opportunity to meet new friends, musicians, and try out rehearsals and a concert performance with hundreds of other children from all over the world. We are looking forward to an amazing experience in the middle of June and we are already beginning to prepare for that. Before arriving in Sweden, our children, together with their teachers, have to master a relatively extensive and challenging repertoire. Here it is:

  • Chamambo
  • Preludium Te Deum
  • The Big Doors of Kiev
  • Halleluya
  • Ritmo Zigano

Side by Side is an international networking gathering – a “summer school“ in Gothenburg – part of the musical-social education projects for children from Europe and overseas countries. The event will be attended by up to 3 000 children and their teachers who will get a chance to learn and create together.
The participants – teachers are professional musicians; the event’s programme offers creative workshops and methodological and music-teaching seminars, sharing the “best practices“ – a time-tested method and solution of problem situations, mentoring by the most experienced colleagues, and intense work with children. The event will culminate at a joint public concert given by an orchestra made up of all the participants playing under the baton of Maestro Ron Davis Alvares.
