Music Network & The Ark present: Wires, Strings & Other Things, a new music show for children composed by Brian Irvine
Andreea Banciu, viola; James Allsopp, bass clarinet; Ed Devane, electronic instruments.
Music Network and The Ark present a new music show for ages 6+ composed by Brian Irvine and directed by Wouter Van Looy.
Meet Ed, Andreea and James, three totally different people with one thing in common – they are crazy about music and sound.
Ed can usually be found in a corner, building unusual electronic instruments, tinkering with his own world of sound. Andreea plays the viola beautifully and reads complicated sheets of music as if they were fairy tales. And James? Well, James wanders a labyrinth of sound like an explorer, connecting and disrupting with his bass clarinet as he goes.
Wires, Strings & Other Things is a music performance that encourages you to always be curious. To listen, respond to and communicate through the sounds, music and stories that are all around you – wherever you are and whoever you are with.
