The members of the Board of Trustees also had the opportunity to experience firsthand one of the School’s latest and most innovative proposals, an immersion in a musical creation workshop, in which they were able to experience how music can not only convey emotions, but also be a key tool in innovation, learning, and the progress of society and the organizations that are part of it. This initiative is part of the recently launched alliance between the School and the company Musical Thinkers, which aims to revolutionize the way teams, people, and organizations, mainly in the corporate environment, develop their creativity and leadership skills thanks to the transformative power of music.
The Board of Trustees of the Reina Sofía School is composed of a large group of personalities representing different sectors of society, committed to the educational and artistic work carried out by this center of international reference for the teaching of young musicians.
