Musical sensitivity is not exclusive to adulthood. Since we are children, we can perceive the magic that surrounds this art. We all like to be told stories, to be taken to fantasy worlds, to be explained and made to experience the types of sounds and sensations that they provoke in us… We all like to feel, imagine… in a word: have fun.
This is the premise of the Funny Classics cycle, with which the Albéniz Foundation seeks to bring music closer to children from 4 to 14 years old, through educational programs specially designed to facilitate their understanding and enjoyment as a family.
