The opening of Bremen Reads! Anke Bär with the Ensemble Arcano: Monkeys are inside giraffes

Description

Pufferfish and flounder, baby blackbirds and slugs, moths and giraffes frolic in Anke Bär's animal poems.

The Arcano Ensemble embarks on a journey of discovery: What "animal music" for string quartet with percussion exists beyond Camille Saint-Saëns' "Carnival of the Animals," Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov's "Flight of the Bumblebee," and Franz Schubert's "Trout Quintet"? Kaa the snake from Disney's "The Jungle Book" offers "Trust in Me," Kurt Weill's "The Shark" bares its teeth, and the Beatles' "Blackbird" prefers to keep to safety…

Performers: Anette Behr-König, Camilla Busemann, violin; Anke Ohngemach, viola; Karola von Borries, cello; Rose Eickelberg, percussion.

Author & Speaker: Anke Bär.

Cooperation: Bremen Philharmonic Orchestra, Bremen Literature House & Wellenschlag Text and Publishing Office.

For children and families aged 6 and up.
