The project MIO2012 will develop and expand as a combination of two fields: an Orchestra Academy (orchestral training) and Master Classes (soloists training, conducting), providing young musicians with studies (technique, artistic development, reflection, promotion skills) and performing with top European artists and pedagogues, who will be collaborating as faculty, sharing their vast knowledge, giving the best examples, socializing and exchanging their extensive experience due to their international careers. The project is built-up on the established educational methods adding flexibility and sustainability in order to provide quality in the determined short time frame. Furthermore we encourage an intercourse between the soloists, the conductors, the leaders-concertmasters and the orchestra since those two fields of the project interfere with each other at all times. This system creates the optimal conditions necessary for young artists to study and follow the different stages of the process from studies to performance and being ready to be exposed on the professional level, providing them with more they can get on a local level.Musicians from different countries will meet in Maribor annually. MIO2012 call for applications and auditions for young musicians (up to 35 years of age) will be organised and promoted within Europe.MIO2012 will be brought to audience across Europe and beyond with concerts and live broadcasts during the project and audio/video materials afterwards. The project will have 250 participants yearly and is expected to have more than 50,000 people benefiting from it.The purpose of MIO2012 is to educate, promote, stimulate and connect talented musicians in order to achieve excellence in new cultural environment, and emphasize the cultural diversity that initiates social change. The musicians in the orchestra will perform as volunteers but on the other hand they will have the possibility to expand their knowledge and improve their employability.
