Musica – ars amanda is a series of symphony concerts directed to the junior and senior college youth. There is a leading idea each season connecting all evenings. Orchestral programs that present a given tendency in the history of music or a particular section of instruments are preceded by a lecture that renders easy the perception and situates a piece in a broader context.
During the concerts of the 2017/2018 season, we will learn the Secrets of the Score.
