In a remarkable display of creativity, redemption, and social value, the Orchestra of the Sea made its stunning debut at Milan's renowned Teatro alla Scala. The performance featured instruments that were crafted from wood salvaged from dilapidated smugglers' boats that had brought migrants to Italy's shores, and the craftsmen behind these instruments were none other than inmates from Italy's largest prison.
This transformative project, aptly named Metamorphosis, seeks to turn what might otherwise be discarded into something of great significance to society. By using rotten wood to create exquisite instruments and providing inmates with the opportunity to develop valuable skills, the project aims to promote rehabilitation through craftsmanship.
