“The goal of Fortissimo Class is not to make a musician out of every student, but to show them the beauty of music. The final concerts of Fortissimo Class are a real treat; seeing a hall full of children clapping and cheering as if they were at a rock concert and enjoying music with their whole being — that is priceless!” Peter Makedonski, a trumpet player at the Bulgarian National Radio Orchestra and a Fortissimo Class teacher
The Fortissimo Effect Fortissimo’s programs inspired other cultural institutions in Bulgaria to open up to young audiences and direct resources to the devel- opment of youth programs. Today there is hardly a festival, museum, or gallery without youth offerings, audiences at cultural events are increasingly diverse, and the increased consumption of cultural products leads to the creation of ever higher-quality content.
