This December, the DSO expanded its partnership with the four leading conservatories Tuscany, uniting Dartmouth and Italian students in an artistic venture.
The Hopkins Center for the Arts deepened its ambitious, international partnerships and impact in December, showing how art has the power to unite.
Thirty-seven student musicians from the Dartmouth Symphony Orchestra, led by director Filippo Ciabatti, traveled to Tuscany in central Italy in the educational and cross-cultural venture. The Dartmouth students partnered with peers from four leading conservatories across Tuscany, sharing music stands and inspiration as they rehearsed and performed an exquisite program throughout the region.
This marks the orchestra's second initiative in Italy, following its 2018 collaboration in Florence with the Tuscany Orchestra Conservatory.
