Development idea
Historically, the Central Baltic countries have been solidly connected. One of the most powerful connecting features is culture, yet many cultural connections are weak between the Central Baltic countries. Music is a good way to strengthen these connections, as it provides an international language understandable to everybody.
Aim of the project
The Eunecbas project developed the cooperation of musicians and concert organizers to bring light to the common cultural heritage of the Central Baltic region. By understanding the common cultural heritage more thoroughly, the region can better make this heritage known elsewhere as well.
Main project activities
The project organised education for young musicians in Finland to integrate new national music into the historic musical base of the Central Baltic countries. New chamber ensembles and orchestras were created with musicians from the Central Baltic countries, and new compositions are performed in concerts organised in Estonia, Finland, Latvia, Sweden and on Åland. Working with professionals was proven to be a great opportunity for the participating youth, and the scale of the musical productions is much greater through cooperation than it ever could be if carried out by the project partners individually.
