More than 400 students, teachers and participants from five European countries will perform an original musical titled The Sound of Change on October 8 at the bullring in Osuna, Spain, closing a two-year Erasmus+ project called COMMON. El Pespunte reported the information after a presentation by municipal music education delegate Jesús Heredia and conservatory director SerafÃn Arriaza.
Students at the Municipal Professional Conservatory of Music of Osuna composed the music, wrote the story and libretto, and prepared the staging and scenery for the production, which addresses climate change. Arriaza said the project grew from the conservatory’s internationalization efforts, which began with European contacts in 2016 and earned Erasmus+ accreditation in 2021, valid through 2027.
The conservatory developed COMMON with music schools in Belgium, Latvia, Finland and Italy. Primary schools in Osuna and university students in early childhood and primary education also joined the final performance. Heredia, a former conservatory student himself, praised the opportunities such projects offer students and credited the teaching staff and leadership team for coordinating the large-scale production. He said shared experiences with peers from other countries strengthen students’ connection to a common European project.
Attendance is free, but attendees must request invitations through an online form and collect them at the local cultural center.
