“As a Metropolitan City we strongly support this appointment – stated Ilaria Abagnale, metropolitan councilor delegated for Planning and School Buildings for the Vesuvian, Sorrento, Nolana and Phlegraean areas – also through an important economic commitment so that the conditions are created to allow the students to best express their talent, to be listened to and appreciated for their skills and competences acquired over the years of school education. The wish I want to address to them is to be able to make their instruments vibrate throughout their lives with a profitable entry into the world of music and art, always following their own inclinations and creativity.”
“I am particularly pleased to be present at an event with great educational-cultural value that the Metropolitan City of Naples has been carrying out for several years now – added the metropolitan councilor delegated to the School for Naples and the northern area, Marianna Salierno – and which makes the protagonists are the students of our musical and dance high schools. The orchestra is the small paradigm of society, learning to play in an orchestra, knowing how to listen to other people’s tempos teaches respect for the rules and is a joyful way of training the citizens of the future”.
