THE AMBASSADORSHIP PROGRAM - Pilgrims of European Culture
The key objective of the Theresia Ambassadorship Program is to approach new audiences, especially the youth, to the world of classical music and Historically Informed Performance (HIP) practice. To do so, over the course of three years, a total of nine young musicians, representing nine different European countries, will embody and transmit the core values of classical music and its importance to their countries.
The new target audiences and the key messages will be identified by the ambassadors/ambassadresses in a co-creation workshop guided by ICONS’ communication experts. The communication materials that will come out from it will be used to reach the identified audiences. First online, through Theresia’s blog and social media. Then, each of them will physically connect with the identified public in their home countries through engaging activities like workshops, seminars, musical ateliers, and performances in unusual places.
This program is a truly unique opportunity in the European panorama to support the diffusion of European classical music and culture. Moreover, this is a valuable chance for Theresia’s advocates to improve and put into practice their communication skills and to create new professional opportunities in their home countries, but not only, backed by an entity recognised at European level as Theresia.
