P6-7 pupils headed off to the Ryan Centre this afternoon for a musical extravaganza. We were entertained by Andrea and Georgie of Ad Libitum, who were a violin and accordion duo. After explaining a bit about the different sounds that each of their instruments could make, we were treated to some of Vivaldi’s Four Seasons concerto, and pieces by composers Bach and Brahms.
Afterwards, we got the opportunity to ask the musicians some questions, learning that they had played in over 50 different countries, what the violin bow is made from and where in the world the horse hair originates from.
Thank-you to the organisers of ‘Music for All’ for a wonderful afternoon.
