Edu­ca­ti­on

The world of baro­que music has all sorts of fan­ta­stic tre­asu­res wai­ting to be dis­co­ver­ed by curious ears! Be it the deli­ca­te sounds of a the­or­bo, the rust­ling chords of a harp­s­ichord, or the radi­ant tone of a baro­que vio­lin – the inter­pre­ta­ti­ons of the Bre­men Baro­que Orches­tra spark­le with enthu­si­asm and imme­dia­te­ly cap­ti­va­te the audi­ence. The music can delight, com­fort, influence you to dream, or sim­ply exhi­la­ra­ting, espe­ci­al­ly when explo­red behind the sce­nes of the per­for­man­ces.

The orchestra’s edu­ca­ti­on pro­gram, laun­ched in 2020, offers various pro­grams that crea­te access to the world of music and open the pos­si­bi­li­ty of crea­ti­ve exch­an­ge. The BBO team, some of who­se mem­bers found their way to music through edu­ca­tio­nal pro­grams as a child, would like to share their fasci­na­ti­on and pas­si­on for music in addi­ti­on to their pro­fes­sio­nal know­ledge. Their objec­ti­ve is to make music acces­si­ble, crea­te musi­cal expe­ri­en­ces, and impart know­ledge that will inte­gra­te music into the ever­y­day life of child­ren and young peo­p­le.

The pro­grams enable per­so­nal insights into the rehear­sals as well as an inten­si­ve exami­na­ti­on of the com­po­si­ti­ons them­sel­ves. The­re is even the pos­si­bi­li­ty of making music with pro­fes­sio­nal musi­ci­ans on stage, depen­ding on the work­shop.

Long-term coope­ra­ti­on bet­ween edu­ca­tio­nal insti­tu­ti­ons and the orches­tra also offers a uni­que oppor­tu­ni­ty for stu­dents and musi­ci­ans to gui­de each other on their musi­cal paths.

The main distin­gu­is­hing fea­tures of the pro­grams are that child­ren and young peo­p­le are artis­ti­cal­ly invol­ved. They get the chan­ce to expe­ri­ment with music, and even sur­pass them­sel­ves! Depen­ding on the pro­ject, stu­dents lis­ten, sing, make music, com­po­se, dis­cuss or com­bi­ne the music with other art forms such as dance and speech.

The offer chan­ges and is con­stant­ly being expan­ded. Both indi­vi­du­al events and long-term col­la­bo­ra­ti­ons are pos­si­ble.

Of cour­se, we are also open to your aspi­ra­ti­ons and ide­as! Plea­se do not hesi­ta­te to cont­act us.

An ima­gi­na­ti­ve dance with colourful scar­ves to a deli­ca­te “Bran­le”, a pre­lude on flu­tes that sounds like bird­song befo­re a “Rosi­gno­lo” or rhyth­ms play­ed on per­cus­sion instru­ments that can keep up with the orchestra’s “Gavot­te” – all of this could be heard in the bril­li­ant final con­cert on 13 Octo­ber 2023 at the Käthe Koll­witz School in Del­men­horst. As part of the “Curtain up: extra­CLASS!!” pro­ject, the Year 4 pupils first got to know the orches­tra during a rehear­sal visit to Bre­men and then spent weeks rehe­ar­sing their own pie­ces for the joint con­cert. Thun­de­rous applau­se and an enco­re with all the pupils invol­ved in the pro­ject brought this pro­ject to a fes­ti­ve con­clu­si­on!   


 

Stan­ding on stage with the Bre­men Baro­que Orches­tra and per­forming a con­cert tog­e­ther – this beca­me a rea­li­ty for the pupils in years 3 and 4 of the pri­ma­ry school on Kant­stra­ße on 11 Novem­ber 2022. In the month-long pro­ject “Curtain up: extra­CLASS!”, the child­ren first got to know the musi­ci­ans during a rehear­sal visit, inclu­ding pre­pa­ra­ti­on and fol­low-up work, befo­re embar­king on a week-long rehear­sal pha­se them­sel­ves. Each class rehe­ar­sed an expres­si­ve dance, scenic body per­cus­sion, instru­men­tal per­for­mance or a song based on poems they had writ­ten them­sel­ves to pre­sent all of this in an impres­si­ve con­cert in front of the who­le school. In addi­ti­on to fami­lia­ri­sing stu­dents with the music and the orches­tra, this pro­ject impres­si­ve­ly suc­cee­ded in offe­ring them a space for their own artis­tic crea­ti­on.   


 

What does our envi­ron­ment sound like today? This is what the stu­dents of the music per­for­mance cour­se at Kip­pen­berg Gym­na­si­um Bre­men 2022 explo­red in the pro­ject “Ele­men­tal Sounds & Sound­scapes in Music and Natu­re”. Jean Féry Rébel set the four ele­ments fire, water, air and earth to music in his com­po­si­ti­on “Les Élé­ments” in 1738, but the­se have chan­ged sin­ce then, as have our per­cep­ti­on and our musi­cal style. In coope­ra­ti­on with BUND and sound artist Ric­car­do Cas­ta­gno­la, the young peo­p­le deve­lo­ped their own con­tem­po­ra­ry sound lan­guage and com­po­sed their own repre­sen­ta­ti­ons of natu­re. The­se were final­ly pre­sen­ted to seve­ral hundred pupils from Bre­men in a lar­ge final con­cert as part of a com­ple­te work of art entit­led “Les Élé­ments”.   


 

“I love how cool your orches­tra is!” said a Year 3 pupil from the pri­ma­ry school on Kant­stra­ße, who took part in the pro­ject “Music ever­y­whe­re – expe­ri­en­cing a baro­que orches­tra up clo­se” from 2020 to 2021. In the pro­ject, musi­ci­ans visi­ted the child­ren at their school to intro­du­ce the bas­so­on, vio­lin, vio­la, cel­lo, lute, gui­tar, recor­der, trans­ver­se flu­te and harp­s­ichord in uni­que and varied les­sons. Through music puz­zles, song ridd­les, baro­que dance and more, the pupils were always actively invol­ved and had a lot of fun! For the big rehear­sal visit, all the child­ren got tog­e­ther in small “expe­di­ti­on teams” to explo­re one instru­ment in par­ti­cu­lar. At the end of the pro­ject, the young experts pre­sen­ted inte­res­t­ing, sur­pri­sing and fun­ny results to their class­ma­tes.
