CHAMBER ORCHESTRA
To make a gift of culture is to make a gift of thirst. The rest is a consequence. – Antoine de Saint Exupery
The cultural volunteer organization Accademia degli Assetati ODV aims to create a sense of thirst for culture in people and in the audience who participate in concerts, as well as in young musicians who actively collaborate in its initiatives.
The Orchestra of the Accademia degli Assetati is composed of young talented musicians who enjoy performing together, offering their art, and receive lessons, advanced masterclasses with important musicians, scholarships, and support for their educational journey. The choice of refined programs, the enthusiasm, and professionalism of its young performers have allowed the orchestra of the Accademia degli Assetati to be appreciated and requested in important city organized events.
