When SPARK invites you to a concert, there is a lot to see and hear. First of all, there are lots of instruments: piano, violin, viola, cello, melodica, plus around 20 recorders in different sizes and types of wood. There are also pieces from different eras, from the Baroque to the present day. Even sounds that are several centuries old still get your feet moving today. But the musicians also play a catchy Hungarian folk tune or a pop song by ABBA, one of their absolute favorite bands. And they demonstrate new playing techniques of modern avant-garde music on their instruments, without you having to develop any new music escape reflexes. Important questions are also answered: for example, how exactly a note is created on a string instrument or how to play a "flutter tongue" on the recorder. And of course the musicians also talk about their everyday working life on stages around the world - from London, Amsterdam and Berlin to Shanghai.
