The workshop, organized in cooperation with ARTE Foundation for Culture and Education, is aimed at children aged 7-10.

During the workshop, children will learn about this unusual method of notation, create their own compositions and try conducting. The workshop will end with a concert, during which musicians will perform graphic scores prepared by the participants.

The workshop will be conducted by:
