Musethica is a musical educational project with a strong social character. Established in 2012 by violist and educator Avri Levitan, it already operates in 15 countries. It focuses on such education of young and talented instrumentalists that their interpretations of chamber music, in addition to high artistic value, are characterized by high communicativeness. Each Musethica session consists of fixed components: intensive workshops, during which a tutor designated by the Musethica program works with the participants of a given edition, and presentation of the prepared program in places where concerts are not usually organized, including nursing homes, hospitals, aid centers and educational institutions. The close contact with listeners and the opportunity to share impressions make it possible to feel the power of art as a way to communicate and convey emotions. The project changes the way of thinking about music on both sides of this communication: both in the audience and the artists. Series of performances of the sixth Warsaw edition of the Musethica will culminate in a final concert, which, following the example of previous editions, will be held at Nowa Miodowa – Concert Hall of the Complex of State Music Schools No. 1 in Warsaw.
