  • Family Jam Session - musical creative meetings

    Listening is acting. A situation that can be the start of something creative, fun, reflective, or sometimes just lead nowhere. Concerts are an invitation to an interactive encounter with classical music, but not only that. During the meeting, we will explore different types of musical themes and mix them like fruit in a homemade jam.
