The Meetings on the stage organized by ESTA Italia every year for twenty years now, they are events born with the spirit of allowing all young musicians, students of ESTA members, to perform in prestigious places and in front of an audience without a competitive purpose ; it does not matter the frame that surrounds the educational path in public schools such as the middle school with a musical address, the musical high school, the conservatory or private schools but the want to play!!!
The events take place in various locations throughout Italy and are open to both soloists and groups.
Every Meeting on stage there are teachers and members of the ESTA Italia board available for an interview with the young musicians.
