THE FANTASTIC WORLD OF PERCUSSION INSTRUMENTS
“Musica Ragazzi”, a season of concerts and events for children from maternal to high school, was founded in 2006 because of an awareness of the importance of early encounters with art and the fact that music did not sufficiently form part of children’s schooling.
In its first ten years “Musica Ragazzi” has established itself as an evolving project, capable of attracting the attention and praise of Italian music critics and involving great names in the international music scene.
