A Project in Cyprus and Portugal Bridges Passion and Profession

Tasos Kyriakou, Music Teacher and Project Manager, Sistema Cyprus, and Margarida Abrantes, Coordinator, Orquestra Geração
What does it take to turn a young musician’s passion into a meaningful career? For Sistema Cyprus and Orquestra Geração, the answer lies in real, structured opportunity, tailored to young people who are too often overlooked by traditional systems.
Our two organizations have long collaborated on other successful European projects. Building on that experience, and seeing the similar challenges our students face, we teamed up once more to create the Erasmus+ project “InMus: From Youth to Professionalism.”
