On 6 September 2025, the MOTIVE – Merging Original Traditions Into New Voices of Europe project will reach its culminating moment. Set in the exceptional surroundings of the Parco Archeologico Nazionale di Capo Colonna in Crotone, the Final Concert will mark the artistic conclusion of an international collaboration bringing together young musicians from Poland, Lithuania and Italy.

The event will not only close a multi-month creative process, but will also stand as a celebration of European cultural diversity, intercultural dialogue and inclusion through music.

Music as a shared European language

The MOTIVE Final Concert will feature 15 young artists who have been working together throughout the project during artistic residencies, workshops, international co-creation sessions and rehearsals. Their collaboration has resulted in original compositions blending elements of folk traditions, jazz, rock, minimalism, electronic music and world music.

The performances presented in Crotone will reflect a dialogue between different musical heritages and personal artistic paths, forming a single, shared European musical voice.

A unique location and an open public event

The concert will take place in a site of exceptional historical and symbolic value — the Parco Archeologico Nazionale di Capo Colonna, where cultural heritage meets the open landscape of the Ionian Sea.

The culmination of the MOTIVE project

The Final Concert represents the artistic culmination of the MOTIVE project, implemented within the framework of the Creative Europe Programme. Previous project activities included:

• international training sessions and workshops for young musicians,

• the development of a Practical Toolkit for Beginner Musicians,

• a Joint Study exploring European musical traditions,

• the creation of audio-visual materials documenting music, memory and local cultural narratives.

All these actions contributed to a shared goal: creating a space where music becomes a tool for cooperation, education and the building of a common European cultural identity.

An invitation to a shared experience

The upcoming MOTIVE Final Concert is an invitation to experience music that transcends borders, languages and genres. It is also an opportunity to witness how tradition and innovation can coexist, giving rise to new artistic voices in Europe.

Very soon, Crotone will become a meeting point for young European talents sharing one stage and one message: diversity as a source of strength, creativity and inspiration.
