/0 Comments/in /by

I am a musician is the program of the Medellín Philharmonic Orchestra in which 35 neurodiverse people work alongside professionals in music therapy throughout the year, it has 2 base groups where musical abilities are developed, they integrate and do a concert with the Orchestra, in which they put their learning into practice. In addition, it has a projection group, which are young people with more advanced musical training, showing those skills throughout the year with the Orchestra, with more concerts.

Again this year we want to invite more people to participate in the program. We will do seven itinerant workshops, one each month, on Saturday afternoons so that, if you like music, you can learn to make it and enjoy it more.

Who is invited?

People 16 years of age and older, who have a diagnosis of:

Autism

Cognitive impairment

If I have a mental disability, can I attend?

The workshops are given in conditions and in large groups that do not allow us to provide the attention required by people diagnosed with mental illness. We hope to be able to carry out activities for them later.
