Pedagogical project

A future project for musical training in the Girona Regions

The objective of the Metalquimia Foundation is to encourage, promote, incentivize, sponsor and carry out actions that boost creativity and innovation (Creativity) in the different areas of society, whether business, social, cultural, scientific-technological or educational.

Along these lines, the Metalquimia Foundation assumes the pedagogical project Jove Orquestra de les Comarques Gironines as its own because it understands that it is a decisive commitment to the future, with the aim of establishing in the medium and long term a solid mechanism of permanent connection between the music schools of all the counties of Girona, which allows:

  • Offering all middle-level students of the music schools and conservatory of Girona the opportunity to do first-level orchestral work with teachers of recognized international prestige, members of the best European orchestras.
  • Promote the establishment of a stable musical work network in the Girona Regions, thanks to the interconnection of all middle and higher music schools in Catalonia.
  • Offer concerts in symphonic formats in the Girona region.
  • Involve the families of the students to also consolidate a socio-cultural network.

Dissemination of music as an integration tool

Since 2009, the Jove Orquestra de les Comarques Gironines has been carrying out educational work in the Girona region, carrying out, within the framework of the activities of both the JOCG and later the Cobla i Corda Symphony of Catalonia, pedagogical activities open to all areas of education, from primary school to university extension classes.

The main purpose is to bring music closer to the educational community in the field of cultural integration, and at the same time bring members of this community closer to the spaces where musical activity takes place, the concert halls, helping to increase and retain the audience of the future.

Integration activities have also been carried out aimed at groups that, for various reasons, have more difficulty accessing symphonic music.

On the other hand, based on the work with the Jove Orquestra de les Comarques Gironaines, young students from the Girona regions will be given the opportunity to participate as listeners in the stay and thus learn first-hand how an orchestra approaches the preparation of works from the symphonic repertoire.

It is worth highlighting the close collaboration with the management team of the Isaac Albéniz Conservatory of Music of the Girona Provincial Council.

Funding and scholarships for musical talent

The Jove Orquestra de les Comarques Gironines project is financed with contributions from the Girona City Council, the Girona Provincial Council and the Metalquimia Foundation and a co-payment from the participants.

The economic situation has meant that many families at risk of exclusion cannot afford to pay for the pedagogical activity of the Jove Orquestra de les Comarques Gironines and that is why the organization decided, from 2010, to establish a scholarship system to prevent any young music student from being left out of the project for economic reasons.
