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 back for the fourth consecutive year (in Greek).

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, Fivos the little fox, continuing his journey at the B&E Goulandris Foundation, leads us into the staff and the world of a musical note, where bow strokes and brushstrokes come together to form musical and artistic shapes! With the help of a musical staff we explore musical forms, composers and paintings, exploring the unique works of art that are part of the Foundation’s permanent Collection, always accompanied by the sounds of our string instruments.

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 on the last Sunday of each series, at the “Acquaintance with the Orchestra” concert, the entire orchestra performs all the works presented over the previous month.
