Social
Impact
Music as a catalyst for connection and well-being.
Moving Concerts shows how classical music can strengthen communities and improve lives. Each concert becomes a shared space where diversity is visible, empathy grows, and people reconnect. By collaborating with orchestras and institutions in the fields of health, education, and culture, the project reaches audiences often excluded from artistic life. In doing so, Moving Concerts redefines what a concert can be: not only an artistic event, but a force for social cohesion and collective well-being.

Concerts create spaces where people of different ages, abilities, and backgrounds come together, fostering empathy, mutual understanding and social cohesion
