Pelgrim Brass will present a new program on the Grachtenfestival 2018 called ‘Dichter bij dieren’. The musicians will take you along on a trip in the Zoo and many animal sounds return as music in Camille Saint-Saën’s'‘Le Carnaval des Animaux’. From traipsing turtles to jumping kangaroos, braying donkeys and ostentatious swans.
During this guided tour in the Zoo you can hear stories of Toon Tellegen. His work reflects all kinds of experiences by animals and their individual characteristics. The title of Tellegen’s book ‘Misschien wisten zij alles’ (Maybe they knew everything), is significant... Wanna join the musicians on their Zoo tour?
The buurtconcerten are made possible by the Coöperatiefonds from Rabobank Amsterdam and Stichting Ambassadeurs van het Grachtenfestival.
