Musethica’s Network
Musethica's method is implemented through collaborations with social institutions, Higher Music Education Institutions, and organisations from the classical music sector.
The Musethica Programme is already a vital part of the weekly activities of many social institutions, and an integral component of various chamber music festivals and orchestra academies.
Believing that Musethica’s performance practice is an essential part of higher music education, special effort has been made in the last years to collaborate with Higher Music Education Institutions (HMEIs) to integrate the Musethica teaching method into their academic programmes.
Additionally, Musethica collaborates with research institutes to study the impact of its concerts on both audiences and musicians.
Musethica continues to expand its network, welcoming new partnerships with institutions that share its vision of music as a powerful tool for social change.

Today, Musethica is recognised as an elective module at mdw with 4 ECTS points, fully embedded in the curriculum and integrated into European projects such as “1000+ Concerts: Innovating Higher Music Education through Social Inclusion.”

Musethica’s story began in Zaragoza, where Musethica Spain has been sharing music since its foundation in 2012 by violist Avri Levitan and economics professor Carmen Marcuello.
From the beginning, it introduced an innovative training approach in which young musicians develop their skills through frequent performances in a wide range of social settings. Asociación Musethica has is particularly active in integrating the programme into higher music education contexts across Spain. Since 2024, there has been an additional focus on underserved rural areas, aiming to bring music to places where cultural opportunities are often scarce. A chamber music festival has been held in Zaragoza every March since the very start, and today, Asociación Musethica organises around five Musethica Sessions along with the festival each year.
