Lecture — Can Classical Music Be Fun?
We invite children into the world of classical music. During the meeting we will consider together whether classical music always has to be solemn and dignified, or whether it can also be funny and surprising. Children will get to know pieces by Haydn, Mozart and Rossini and learn how to imitate everyday sounds, animals and emotions on various instruments.

Workshop I — The Orchestra Upside Down

• Creating an “orchestra upside down”: clarinet as percussion, the conductor dances, the orchestra plays backwards.
• Improvisation, creating new rules, conducting each other and building a piece together.
• Inspirations: fragments of classical pieces played in unusual ways.

Workshop II — Music Makes Faces

• Getting to know pieces that “make faces” through rhythm, melody and timbre.
• Imitating emotions with movement, gesture and sound.
• Sessions full of laughter, improvisation and active listening.

Leaders:

• Dagna Sadkowska — violinist, music educator, soloist and chamber musician. Author of educational materials, artistic director of the Young Orchestra of the New Theatre in Warsaw.
• Michał Górczyński — clarinettist and composer, graduate of the Fryderyk Chopin University of Music, works on improvisation and interpretation of contemporary music.
• Tomasz Januchta — double bassist of the Grand Theatre — National Opera in Warsaw, soloist and improviser.
