In August, 108 youngsters from São Paulo are travelling to the Dutch capital to perform during Grachtenfestival Amsterdam. These young musicians are part of the Guri Marelina project, which gives tens of thousands of children from São Paulo the chance to have a few hours of music lessons every week. The project was set up by the São Paulo music school, the Escola de Música do Estado de São Paulo.
The most talented of them are finally selected to study at the music school. The Amsterdam Conservatorium started a collaboration with the São Paulo music school, sharing knowledge and expertise, teachers and students with one another.
They will be playing an evening of French masterpieces in the Muziekgebouw aan ’t IJ.
