IN WE’RE COMPOSING! we let the young explore new music. Together with our musicians and composers, the students create their own compositions.

During the process, we build our own instruments, try out various musical elements, investigate sound sources in everyday objects and decide together what sound material should be included in the final composition. The result is performed in front of the whole school.

The idea is to demonstrate an entire compositional process, with all its elements of instrumental and vocal possibilities, composing, arranging, improvising, playing, music technology – and, not least, presentation.
