EMUSIK | May 3-7, 2016 | San Sebastián, Spain

Unity in diversity

What does it sound like to hear musicians’ instruments played at once? The concert with most musicians playing at the same time ever held in Europe will take place in San Sebastian thanks to the Emusik initiative. Thousands musicians from 26 countries will perform, in unison, a musical repertoire including classical pieces, modern numbers, and the song Emusik 2016,  specifically created for the occasion. The concert will open the Festival of Music Schools organised every two or three years by EMU, the European Music School Union. Once the Festival is underway, more than a thousand concerts will take place throughout the region, as well as in La Rioja and Cantabria,  jointly organised by 70 music schools and including a broad spectrum of musical styles, and from pieces by classical composers to the latest sounds on the music scene. The project uses music as an instrument of coexistence, drawing on diversity and collaboration, and offers the unique opportunity for cultures and countries to exchange knowledge and experiences.
