Synopsis

‘Musica Mundi’ is a course for gifted young musicians, from 9 to 23 years old, which takes place every year since 1999 in Belgium. The 65 selected worldwide children pay no registration, but are supported by sponsors. Music is their only common language. They form numerous chamber music ensembles directed by big names including Ivry Gitlis and Maxim Vengerov. The film is the witness of those improbable encounters, of the new friendships, and of the tireless work done by these young people who want to live fully their passion for music.
