Histórias da Orquestra de Câmara do Alto da Mina (2015 a 2022).

Abstract

The purpose of this research was to analyze how the Alto da Mina Chamber Orchestra (OCAM) reverberates in the daily life of the community, especially in relation to children and adolescents who participate in its activities and live in a state of social vulnerability. Methodologically, a case study was developed, through interviews and documentary analysis, aiming to better understand the experiences that children and young people were able to obtain through involvement in music. To aim that, documentation from the personal collections of individuals and legal entities that took part in the research were used, as well as official documents, made available in official gazettes and newspapers with large circulation in the state of Pernambuco. A chronological framework (from 2015 to 2022) was delimited in the research to delimit the field of study of OCAM based on the History of the Present Time, seeking, with this, to identify issues afflicting minors in the Alto do Mina community through the narrative of a story that takes place in the real lives of the residents of Alto do Mina. As a result, it was identified how the work developed by OCAM can have a positive impact on performance in formal (school) education, or on a better exercise of everyday citizenship. A memorial was created in PDF format as a product of the research, intended for dissemination, whose target audience ranges from community members to children and young people as possible supporters of OCAM.
