The activities of the Orchestra will have multiple beneficiaries:

• The European public and musicians of tomorrow (participations in schools)
• People from rural and underprivileged environments
• The disabled (both during the performances as in the Orchestra)
• The cities with a patrimonial wealth in degradation for lack of means
• Humanitarian and ecological associations
• The Orchestra musicians and partners for the exchange of knowledge and acquaintances
• The women composers and women conductors for training promoted by the Orchestra
• The planet for the support of the action «Trees for the Planet»
• From a more European perspective, the bringing to light of common values and references and the creation of a space for cultural and social dialogue that with humility accepts other cultures.

Value and long term prospects

The creation of the Orchestra and its activities play a great part in the creation of a space for European dialogue, cooperation and open-mindedness.

It respects and intensifies the first and fundamental values which lead to the creation of the European Union itself: that of well-being of peoples and the mantaining of peace.

It brings and puts into practice the French values of Freedom, Equality and Solidarity:

Very few activities exist which allow the up dating of the role of women as composers and conductors of orchestras in Europe and the OSEMP will permet the encouragement of this minority to assert themselves and to amplify their space in the musical landscape.

It operates directly transferring funds back the institutions which have appealed to it for help. By it's operations in schools it empowers the future European citizens allowing them to have an active rôle in the formation of their world by solidarity, by the impact of «Trees for the Planet» or by participating in the restauration of the patrimony.

It strengthens the consciousness of the humanitarian, ecological and solidarity chain.

The Orchestra will contribute concretely by the important number of meetings and exchanges it will provoke and the diversity of public it will touch in the member countries and those of the European Union bringing them together.

It will contribute to unite Europe citizens by its activities in proximity to the public.

The whole of the activities planned by the Orchestra are to be continued in the long term and to intensify itself because it creates a solid network of partners, a practice of exchanges and a mutual confidence.
