Our 125th anniversary celebration
The 125th anniversary of the Swiss Society for Music Pedagogy will be celebrated on September 15 in Olten. All members are cordially invited to this exceptional event.
We are pleased to present the program of festivities for September 15, which has been drawn up by the Jubilee Working Group. The festivities will take place at Olten's municipal theater, which, with its elegant and spacious halls, offers a dignified and ideal setting for concerts and lectures, as well as for discussions and personal meetings between colleagues.
The working group endeavored to create a highly diversified program, including catering options.
We would like to take this opportunity to extend our warmest thanks to the sections who will be enhancing the festivities with their own contributions, some of whom have pledged financial support.
Finally, we'd like to draw your attention to the jubilee musical logo designed by Pino Masullo to complement the graphic logo. It will shortly be posted on the SSPM website, and can also be downloaded as a ringtone.
