Living together by making music together. OGV is involved in spread of musical education, with particular reference to young generations in difficult social position. More than sixty young girls and boys take part in the Youth Orchestra and Chorus; they play music together, preparing concerts and performances. Our musical works are original operas, composed appropriately for the OGV, which bring messages about children’s social world and civil rights and promote dialogue in the respect of the values and diversities of other cultures.
• Propaedeutic musical project in the public primary school. In this project are primarily involved schools with a large number of students from immigrant families.
• Summer Musical Stage for Young Musicians; during twelve days, the young musicians can live together, sharing musical experience and preparing an original performance. This activity in 2008 expanded to “Note di Pace” project, in order to host young Israeli an Palestinian musicians and encourage dialogue and peace. The 2009 opera is CURUPIRA, THE SOUND OF EARTH, about environmetal preservation.
• Musical performances about children’s world. IQBAL OPERA is a musical show about Iqbal Masih, the symbol of fight against child slavery. The opera was played for a school audience, at the end of an educational project about child labour. OGV also took part in the organization of the Child Labour Conference, which was held in Verona on December 11, with the intervention of Verona University, ILO, UNICEF, MLAL, BLLF.
• In November 2007 OGV started a musical exchange with a young choir or Detmold (Germany): performance of IQBAL OPERA and D’ENERGIA. The German choir went in Verona in October 2008 to execute two concerts.
