The project directed by OSB will help three centers of music education in the city of Rio de Janeiro, impacting the communities of Guaratiba, Cidade de Deus, Marambaia and Penha, with instrument lessons, such as violin, cello, clarinet, double bass and flute. By the way, there will be presentations of free classes and more activities with music connections. In all, they will have 400 class hours. Indirectly, it is estimated that the Orquestra Sinfônica Brasileira social project sponsored by PRIO will benefit 42 residents of these communities.
Gregório Tavares, Executive Director of the Fundação Orquestra Sinfônica Brasileira also says .“PRIO's support is extremely important for the OSB Foundation because it enables the expansion of the Orchestra's training activities, either through concerts or free classes taught by our musicians to the students of Conexões Musicalis, the social inclusion project through education carried out by OSB. With the support of PRIO, we expanded the interaction network and the number of impacts generated”, celebrates Gregório Tavares, Executive Director of Fundação Orquestra Sinfônica Brasileira.
