The biggest challenge of working with a children’s orchestra, composed of more than 20 children, is to silence them. They will perform famous classical movements by Bach, John Cage, and Schönberg.

The children’s orchestra originated from the cooperation of the children and professional musicians of Slovak Philharmonic in Bratislava. It is about mutual cooperation and giving children a chance to experience serious performance in the orchestra and contemporary musicals firsthand- professional musicians offer them a particularly unique and serious perspective.

We have been pleasantly surprised with result- it is authentic and oscillates between classical and contemporary music. The main axes of the plot are silence and children’s ghost stories; sounds that occur in this space have the task of filling gaps and crevices between them, tickling the soul of the listener. Incidences of disharmony, sludge and sediments are natural phenomena in music and add a quality of honesty to the performance.

The orchestra was created as part of an international project Karaoke Europe, linking artistic activities of four different cultural organizations from Europe , among which is also the Station Archa Theatre of the Czech Republic, PanoDrama 5e from Hungary and Kwartier from Holland. The main theme of cooperation is participatory projects, working with different minorities or socially and culturally excluded communities.
