STICHTING SECONDA PRAT!CA

Created in 2015, the Stichting Seconda Prat!ca aims to safeguard and renew our shared Western musical heritage.

TO CREATE links between communities through a deeper understanding of their roots and history.

TO STIMULATE interactions between various cultural identities, while preserving their richness and complexity.

TO CONNECT cultural heritage to living experiences, using music as a privileged medium.

TO OPEN a direct channel between the audience and the stage, through dramatically and emotionally engaging performances.

Our goal is the promotion of culture and music as privileged ways of enriching and expanding European and Western identities.

Through concerts, workshops, recordings and events gathering the new generation of historically informed performers we always aims to fulfill our four main mission goals.
