KIDS’ JAZZ PROGRAM

Kids’ Jazz Program – an exciting adventure into the world of music!

Join us for a new Saturday tradition for children and young people (and curious grown-ups too!) — jazz, play, and the freedom of improvisation. Here, music isn’t “right or wrong” — it’s alive, spontaneous, and inspiring, just like a child’s imagination. “JAZZ FOR KIDS”, offers children the opportunity to get to know jazz in an authentic, cozy and child-friendly environment. During the concerts, children will be able to listen to live jazz music and learn about jazz in an understandable and engaging way.

"Most importantly, children should feel free and comfortable moving with the music, taking part, and improvising together. It’s a warm and educational experience—with no age limits. Feel free to bring your child’s favorite instrument or any little rhythm tool!"

Maya Moira Mozanova

HOW IT WORKS?

2ND FLOOR – CONCERT HALL AND A MUSICAL ADVENTURE
In the second-floor concert hall, audiences will be warmly welcomed and guided into the world of music by the friendly Harry the Trumpet.
The hall is comfortable and movement-friendly, with cushions—here you can sit, move, dance, and fully engage with the experience.

The musical improvisation adventure will take place in two parts:

Part 1 – 35 minutes
We will get to know the instruments and their sounds,
learn the basics of improvisation, and practice listening—discovering how music is created and how it “converses” in the freedom of improvisation.

Break – 35 minutes
Time for snacks, drinks, photos, and all the little needs.

Part 2 – 40 minutes
The musicians will perform original compositions created especially for children, along with beloved songs in free jazz moods—lively, engaging, and easy to enjoy.
