Fero Kiraly – Soundring: Hands-On Music Workshop for Children
November 8, 2015 @ 11:00 am
$10
SOUNDRING is an interactive educational workshop for children age five+. SOUNDRING was created by the Slovak contemporary musician and composer, Fero Kiraly. He uses a custom-made electronic instrument called Zvukodrom. During the workshop, children listen, compose and conduct. Fero explains how to listen for varied environmental sounds as a snoring dog, meowing cat or a motorcycle. Children use the Zvukodrom to improvise with those sounds and play together in duet, trio, quartet or even an entire orchestra. Children become aware of mathematically based concepts, such as keeping time, learn collaborative listening skills and even practice the art of conducting.
What is a Zvukodrom?
A Zvukodrom (zvu-ko-DROM) is a special instrument that consists of handmade molded objects of geometrical shapes designed by Martin Piacek. These touch-responsive objects are connected to a computer, which gives users the ability to create sounds and music through software specially designed for the workshop.

Admission: $10 suggested donation. Workshop at 11:00am. For children ages 5+.
