Time for music at the Museum!

The B&E Goulandris Foundation, in collaboration with the De Profundis string orchestra, invites parents with children from 6 months old up to 2.5 years old to get acquainted with the Museum and its Collection of artworks through music!

Every Saturday and Thursday, children get to know a different musical instrument and become familiar with the great classical composers. With the help of the experienced musicians of the De Profundis Ensemble, they discover the magical world of music through well-known children’s songs and the timeless melodies of composers like Mozart and Vivaldi, surrounded by the unique works of art of the B&E Goulandris Foundation’s Collection.

The programme consists of monthly series, with every month being dedicated to a different composer: every Saturday and Thursday the same melodies are presented by a different instrument and every first Sunday of the month the children can enjoy all the instruments playing together, in a creative musical dialogue.
