The Amateur project is intended for anyone who wishes to devote time to music while pursuing other professional or personal activities, or simply to sing or play an instrument without the goal of obtaining a formal qualification.Chamber music is at the heart of the project. Teachers and their collaborators make music together with participants, encouraging interaction and facilitating the learning process.
