How does the music feel? How does music change when you touch it? Chamber Orchestra Avanti! welcomes all children and young people and their parents to a concert where they can move, feel and sense the music around them.
The Sunday afternoon of Porvoo’s Suvisoito will feature an inclusive concert for children and young people, where Avant’s versatile musicians will lead the audience on a path of music and creativity. Music responds to touch. The audience is not just the recipient, but becomes part of the music.
“For the children’s concert, we have also selected works that the composers wrote in their youth. Every composer was once a child,” says Tuula Jukola-Nuorteva, a long-standing public relations professional and music educator who planned the concert. “Music frees the mind and helps us to travel to many places.”
The concert will feature works such as Jean Sibelius ‘ Vattendroppar by the young composer and parts of Franz Schubert’s first string quartet. The concert will encourage children and young people to reflect on their own creativity: every composer has written his or her first piece. Encouraged by the music, they can explore, examine and experiment with their own creativity.
The concert is best suited for children over four years old, as the programme includes participatory parts. However, all children, regardless of age, are warmly welcome to enjoy the music. There is no upper age limit for the concert.
Time: Sunday 30.6.2019 at 13.00 (duration about one hour)
