- The signing of this agreement is the result of both entities’ commitment to promoting talent and cultural education.
- The Endesa Foundation will collaborate with the “Music and Leadership” program, with the aim of promoting the employability of seniors and young people and developing the professional and leadership skills of Endesa employees, and an open-air concert for families, in order to bring culture closer to the most vulnerable groups.
Madrid, September 30, 2021.- The Endesa Foundation, in its commitment to making the culture of our country visible and accessible to all, has today signed a collaboration agreement with the Albéniz Foundation with the aim of bringing music closer to those most vulnerable groups. The event was attended by Paloma O’Shea, president of the Reina Sofía School of Music, and Javier Blanco, general director of the Endesa Foundation.
On the one hand, the Endesa Foundation will support the realization of a workshop on “Music and Leadership”, an innovative program of the Reina Sofía School of Music in which various aspects such as the “agile” methodology and purpose are worked on from the perspective of music, key concepts today in the workplace. This workshop will be aimed at participating groups from the Endesa Foundation programs such as SAVIA, aimed at seniors, and BYG, aimed at young people, as well as Endesa employees with an interest in developing their professional and leadership skills.
This collaboration will also include the realization of a free and open-air concert for families, with the aim of bringing musical education and quality music closer to the little ones, and the general public. The concert will be completed with a pedagogical and recreational children’s workshop. Both initiatives share the objective of promoting employability and, in the case of Music and Leadership, it will do so by developing their professional skills through music.
“At the Endesa Foundation we want to promote, recover and conserve culture and art in its different facets. This collaboration agreement is part of our commitment to those groups with whom we work and who need us most and with our ultimate goal, to build a society with equal opportunities for all,” Javier Blanco highlighted.
For the Reina Sofía School of Music, an international benchmark center for the teaching of young musicians that each year has 150 students from more than 30 nationalities, the incorporation of this new patron is a very important support to continue fulfilling its two founding objectives, to support young people with the greatest talent in their personal and artistic development; and bring the best music to all audiences.
“Everything we do at the Reina Sofía School is based on the conviction that music has a great transformative power for people and societies. The collaboration that we started today with Endesa allows us to bring the benefit of music to people who need it and that gives me great satisfaction”, Paloma O’Shea indicated.
