O Projeto Orquestra Geração. A duplicidade de um evento musical/social

Abstract

The Project Orquestra Geração was created in 2007/2008 and involves, in 2014/15, fifteen schools. Through an intensive orchestral practice, the event, inspired in Venezuelan El Sistema, aims at providing disfavored school populations with: social inclusion and mobility, contact with new cultural realities and development of instrumental practice. Taking as a starting point an interpretative and critical (re)approach of the different videos emerging in the digital public sphere, it is our purpose to understand the discourse that brings legitimacy to the duplicity of this event - a musical event where it is manifest the interest for the extra musical results and a social event where it is manifest the interest for the possible emerging musical results. A duplicity which takes place at three levels: social, personal and artistic.
