The Wrong Recorder (5+)
Family concert inspired by the world of Wallace & GromitHow does the tiniest recorder in the world sound? Why is a contrabass recorder… square? And how do you put a piece of music together, from scratch? Join recorder explorer Sarah in her workshop, as she attempts to answer these questions and create a whole new piece of music, with your help! Sarah’s friends Wallace and Gromit know that nothing ever goes to plan, but a musical inventor can always figure it out! Our interactive family concert will reveal all about the wonderful world of recorders, with plenty of laughs along the way.
Sarah Jeffery – recorders, electronics, concept
This performance is brought to you through the support of Julian Nott, composer of the music from Wallace & Gromit, and Aardman films.
Duration: 50 minutes
Member concert
Splendor can only be the independent and free hub that it is, thanks to the members who support us. We pay them back with our specialty: music. Every year, all Splendor musicians play one concert that's free for this crucial group to whom Splendor owes its everyday existence. Combined with many other events, this means that our members have free entrance to over 50 concerts a year for €9,99 p/m (and €4,99 p/m for minima and students!) – and receive a discount for all other concerts. Pretty good deal, right?
The members enable Splendor to remain independent, which is the only way to secure real freedom in programming, experimentation, risk-taking and the promotion of young, upcoming artists. If you can think of another place without a central programming, where last-minute concerts can be planned any moment, where there is no backstage and artists and audience are constantly mingling and hanging out at the bar, where mysterious creative outbursts can be presented that are often labeled 'too risky' elsewhere, and that still guarantees high quality by unleashing the best of The Netherlands' music scene in this creative playground – you get a free membership!
