Interactive Concert for Children

JAZZ AROUND US 🎷

What is jazz?

You can talk to children at length about rhythm, swing, and improvisation. Or you can simply start playing — and invite them to join in.

At our new interactive concert we will get to know jazz not only by listening to it.

• 🎵 We'll find the rhythm and tap it out together with the musicians.

• 🎵 We'll learn how instruments can talk to each other without a single word.

• 🎵 We'll get to know them up close: find out how they're built, how sound is produced, and what role each plays in a jazz ensemble.

• 🎵 We'll try repeating musical phrases and answering them with our own.

• 🎵 We'll hear how the same melody can sound a little different each time.

• 🎵 We'll move, clap, imagine and improvise — and at some point we'll become a big jazz orchestra ourselves.

⭐️ And, of course, we'll listen to real live jazz performed by Артёма Юровского и Анны Левковцевой.

Because jazz is music you can not only listen to. You can converse with it, play with it, and create something of your own right here and now.

The interactive part is for children aged 3–8, and the music is for hearts of any age.

Duration: 35 min + introduction to the instruments
