Time for music at the Museum!

The B&E Goulandris Foundation’s interactive music programme “Time for music at the Museum!”, held in collaboration with the De Profundis Ensemble, is organized for the third consecutive year.

The programme is addressed to children from 8 months old up to 2.5 years old and a parent/guardian, inviting them to get acquainted with the Museum and its Collection of artworks through music.

This year, young Fivos continues his journey around the B&E Goulandris Foundation and gets to know great composers and artists through musical fairy tales. We travel with the help of a magical book of fairy tales, we listen to the wonderful music produced by string instruments and we discover the unique works of art that are part of the Foundation’s permanent Collection.

At the programme “Time for music at the Museum!” the children, guided by the experienced musicians of the De Profundis Ensemble, learn through various activities key elements of music such as rhythm, dynamics and motifs, surrounded by the unique works of art of the B&E Goulandris Foundation.

The programme consists of monthly series and each month is dedicated to different composers and works of art. Every Saturday the children get acquainted with different string instruments while every first Sunday of the month, at the “Acquaintance with the Orchestra” concert, the entire orchestra performs all the works presented over the previous month.
