welcome to the website for the European cooperation project
« Children's voices / Stage space »
A project supported by the Ensemble Justiniana (Vesoul, France) and co-funded by the European Commission’s Creative Europe Programme.
This project aims at developing children’s vocal learning and practice by combining them with performing arts (theatre, dance, movement) through innovative pedagogy and projects.
Spanning September 2015 to September 2017, punctuated by numerous professional meetings and master classes in six European cities, Children’s Voices/Stage Space is designed to be a true experiment of creation and skill exchange.

« Music, opera, theatre, literature, painting… the arts in all their forms have never known a frontier and make up the supple yet resistant binder constituting our ancient Europe. To contribute to this beautiful heritage, at a time when borders are once again resembling faulty seams which make a fabric squeak, the Company and its administrator, Maria Gavrilova, designed the project Children’s Voices/Stage Space within the framework of the Creative Europe Programme.»
