THE ASSOCIATION OF MULTIDISCIPLINARY ART

"The Association of Multidisciplinary Art" is an NPO founded in 2023 to facilitate the orchestra's activities. Alongside our artistic repertoire, we aim to contribute to the well-being of our surroundings through arts-based social programs and education.

Social

MOMENTS

Chamber Music in Public Housing

Moments brings chamber music to senior citizens living in Amigour public housing. It addresses a double gap: a daily routine with few new, cross-generational interactions, and limited access to diverse, contemporary culture that is often distant or paywalled. We bring live concerts directly to where people live, so residents are active participants in the cultural life. These meetings reduce isolation and support well‑being for both the musicians and the elderly.
It includes 45‑minute trio concerts performed by the orchestra’s musicians—who also compose and arrange the repertoire—on instruments such as harp, French horn, double bass, piano, voice, and saxophone. Each visit also features a short introduction and a Q&A with residents and staff.

SOUNDPAINTING

Creative Collaboration in Schools and Art Institutions

In 2025, we launched the Soundpainting Festival, featuring performances and masterclasses at universities, conservatories, academies, high schools, dance companies, and cultural centers. Soundpainting is the universal multidisciplinary live composing sign language for musicians, actors, dancers, and visual artists. Our guest of honor is Walter Thompson, founder of Soundpainting. He leads masterclasses, rehearsals, and concerts.

“The most promising and unusual show.”

“Outstanding musicians, creating a unique event that moves between worlds and stretches the boundaries of the concert… but mainly mixed up the clock hands of the heart. You can feel ingenious in the orchestration and composition…
