What is the Erasmus Orchestra?
Founded in 2017 by the Erasmus+ National Agency INDIRE, the Erasmus Orchestra (EO) is the first orchestra composed of Erasmus students from European Conservatories and Music Institutes. Bringing together talented musicians who have participated in Erasmus+ mobility programs, the Orchestra serves as a symbol of unity, collaboration, and European values.
Since 2023, the Orchestra has been supported by the Association Européenne des Conservatoires (AEC), further strengthening its role as a flagship cultural initiative of Erasmus+.
The initiative holds symbolic significance and aims to spread the values of the “Erasmus Generation” – open, dynamic, and supportive – and of Europe, using music as a metaphor for integration, meeting, and the development of skills beyond linguistic, geographic, and cultural barriers.
The Orchestra also aims to promote the many Erasmus+ training and mobility opportunities for students in the Higher Education Artistic and Musical sector, contributing to enhancing the talents and excellence of European Conservatories and Musical Institutes. This involves promoting collaborations and partnerships that offer opportunities for internationalization and professional experiences for young musicians.
