Analysis of Cultural and Artistic Competence in Europe Through University Orchestras

Abstract

Cultural and artistic competence is currently emerging as one of the fundamental key competencies that every person must develop in order to be able to develop both in the labor market and in the changing society that surrounds us. The aim of this study is to carry out an analysis of the existing university orchestras in Europe relating their existence with the high cultural level of the countries where this type of institutions is more common. Among the main results we observed that there is a direct relationship between the cultural level of the countries and the fact that educational institutions such as university orchestras are promoted. We conclude that this type of cultural institutions have a direct impact on the acquisition of cultural and artistic competence among university students, increasing the cultural level of the countries and their citizens.
