BAROQUE FESTIVAL FOR CHILDREN

PARTICIPATORY CONCERT FOR FAMILIES
WITH CHILDREN AGED 5 AND UP

Children’s TV presenter Juri Tetzlaff travels with two musicians through the seasons and finds out how to get violins to bark and what coldness sounds like. The “Four Seasons” are not just a classical chart-topper but also a challenge for any violinist. How does Antonio Vivaldi manage to make nature and weather tangible in his music? Sweltering heat, gentle breezes, powerful storms and thunder and lightning: Antonio Vivaldi created artful sound-worlds by translating everyday elements into music. He turned birdcalls and dogs barking into melodies. We set off on his trail and see: Antonio Vivaldi was a sound-nerd and a showman – always on the hunt for exciting effects and new playing techniques. Juri Tetzlaff – a familiar face from TV and much loved for his compelling, enthusiastic storytelling style – joins a small ensemble to take children on a musical tour of the turning of the year.
