Orchestral concert with live animation · Mezzo played, Piano planned

Mossy Mogens

A concert from the Nordic forests. The hall sings, claps and dances a forest into being while Ouros Animation's film plays above the orchestra. The children learn the songs in advance from the songbook, so they arrive ready to take part.
