Music Nursery was a project supported and organized by the Italy Pavilion to promote young Italian musicians studying at the Conservatories as well as the regional choirs from all over Italy who, each day, animated Expo Milano 2015.
Nursery Talents
It was divided into three different initiatives. The first was called “ Nursery Talents, the season of Conservatoires at Palazzo Italia”, stemming out from a collaboration among the Ministry of Education, University and Research, the Conference of Conservatoires’ Directors and the Italy Pavilion. Over 300 young Italian and international musicians coming from 41 Conservatoires and Music national Institutes took the stage in the Palazzo Italia’s Performance Area, animating the great atmosphere of the Pavilion with a program inspired by the Italian music excellences and traditions.
