Supported by the Onassis Stegi's know-how and networking, the students studying Culture and Cultural Management in Panteion’s Department of Communication, Media and Culture have undertaken to promote the concert series in close collaboration with the musicians. The concerts are the culmination of an intensive workshop which seeks to acquaint students with contemporary music and the experience of organizing a concert.

Another goal is to spotlight the talent of young composers and performers. The press releases, social media posts, reports, articles, interviews and often the photographs are the work of students working in groups. Every year, different instrumental combinations and themes are selected in order to cover as broad a repertoire as possible. The Onassis Stegi and Panteion University have joined forces for the fifth consecutive year to run the program.
