Our philosophy - this is what we believe in:
As humans we should strive to expand our knowledge, abilities and talents in order to experience and create a more harmonious, joyful and connected world. We believe that every child has the ability to learn well within a fun and supportive environment. We also advocate for music as a tool to increase mental and cognitive capacity in a relaxed manner. Research findings from the brain and communication fields, coupled with the power of music, enable this process.
Fortissimo offers parents, teachers, departments for education and cultural institutions throughout Europe with innovative and accessible teaching materials, an educational app and a VR experience. These enable easy access to classical music. Fortissimo is there to support school children to acquire successful learning strategies in a playful way, so that they enjoy learning and develop an everlasting love for it.
We want to change perception and make classical music attractive to young audiences. A music education programme accessible to everyone gives space for diversity in music, and creates completely new insights into the world of classical music.

Values of our project
With Fortissimo we aim to connect people to classical music. These values are particularly important to us:
Education
Education helps improve people’s knowledge and skills. It promotes critical thinking and broadens our horizons so that we can fully realise our potential. This is what Fortissimo stands for.
Serious Gaming
Serious gaming combines entertainment with education, promoting knowledge transfer through interactive and fun activities. This innovative approach increases learning motivation and exponentially improves the effectiveness of the learning process.
Music
As a universal language, music creates a strong emotional connection between people. It promotes the development of cognitive skills, creativity and teamwork, and increases our ability to concentrate and be attentive.
Digital school
The digital school uses innovative technologies to improve the learning process. It promotes collaboration and the exchange of knowledge between children and teachers and enables a personalised learning environment.
Networking
Networking enables the exchange of ideas, knowledge and experiences between people and organisations. In today’s globalised world, networking promotes collaboration and innovation. It opens new possibilities to make the digital classroom accessible.
Innovation
Innovation significantly contributes to solving problems and discovering new opportunities. The development of new technologies and ideas promotes progress. Even if deeply rooted in the past, innovation brings classical music into the future.
Partner
Fortissimo keeps expanding. We are grateful to our partners!
To date, the global market for classical music education programmes (offline and online) is underdeveloped. Orchestras and opera houses’ education departments are often understaffed, facing many financial pressures. Primary school teachers can feel overwhelmed with day-to-day tasks, which hardly leave any time to prepare for music lessons. This is a situation that can be witnessed throughout Europe.
With 23 partner institutions from 14 EU countries, Fortissimo is committed to sustainably change the world of classical music. Fortissimo will soon be published in 11 European languages.
