Family Concert - Drumming out of the Box

The title is meant to be taken literally. In their program, the Berlin duo Schlagwerk Voermans will open up their huge box of percussion instruments and introduce concertgoers young and old to the manifold and colorful variety of the universe of percussion: from resonating wood to timpani and various types of drums, as well as tuned percussion including vibraphones and marimbas. These two professional musicians are true to the saying that “everything has a beat” as they transform ordinary objects of everyday life into musical instruments and elicit fascinating sounds from them: car horns, a tray of cutlery, or objects from the confectionery shelf. Between the pieces, the musicians will share their expert knowledge as they reveal secrets about the best grooves to initiate and convince you to listen to the world with different ears. A varied, captivating percussion show that is sure to keep young audiences on the edge of their seats.
