An advertisement for a students graduation tour. Since the 2020s, graduation exams have changed from closed door recitals to outdoor tours. The students have to organize their own project in different places over a month; thus demonstrating not only their musical skill, but also their ability to lead a project from beginning to end on their own.

It is therefore a local project, tied to social challenges of our time.

At the edge of the cone is what might happen, even if it’s difficult to imagine.
