Brief description of the consultancy firmThis project involves cooperation between two music schools, one located in the Lithuanian town of Naujoji Akmene and one in the town of Auce in Latvia, only 15 km from one another. The project includes student exchanges between the two schools to facilitate the sharing of knowledge between students from different learning environments. Focus is also given to the involving of people with disabilities living in these towns. A joint opera called “Little Grasshopper” will be staged for target group, coupled with an art therapy festival.

Project also includes seminars for music school teachers, a joint concert of a symphonic orchestra comprised of students from both schools, a concert of folk music devoted to Independence Day of Latvia, a jazz festival and gala event – music festival ‘Echo of Ziemgala’.
