Come see and hear a remarkable number of percussion instruments! Pavel Polívka, a member of the Czech Philharmonic, will take us to the world of traditional and exotic percussion: coconuts, gourds, and even hooves. We’ll show you the influence rhythmic accompaniments have on the sound of classical composition like Beethoven's Ninth Symphony with the Ode to Joy or Mozart's Requiem. There will also be film music, where percussion instruments play an indispensable part.

For this programme, one teacher can order tickets for a maximum of 30 pupils. The minimum number of pupils for the programme is 25.

The programme is based on a musical part but also on a spoken word that will be given in Czech language only. The programme will not be supplied with English subtitles.
