Music education in the third millennium
Vision
Over the past decades our world has changed far more than the ways of experiencing classical music. Our answer is a collective of award-winning young music educators, cultural managers and musicians, and the vision «Simple Symphony».
«Simple Symphony» stands for
an ORGANISATION developing modern presentation and participation formats with symphonic music
a VISION of universal accessibility for classical music
an INITIATIVE refining how new audiences encounter and fall in love with the form
a HOMAGE to its namesake Benjamin Britten and his efforts as a music educator
