“That’s awesome!” – Youth concert

The number of registrations for both “That’s awesome!”  is full.

The character, sounds, movement of animals, sayings, tales or even a particular allegorical-symbolic association related to their very nature have proven fertile ground for composers for many centuries, and continue to be to this day. Saint-Saëns’s masquerade, The Carnival of the Animals, is an unending favourite, not only the cycle itself but also individual movements of this evergreen of classical music. Italian Ottorino Respighi who created in the 20th century was a huge fan of birds and early music, and he was able to indulge both passions in his suite Gli Uccelli (The Birds) because he arranged 17-18th century works in which the composers, for example, Pasquini and Rameau, managed to encapsulate a typical characteristic of a given avian species using the stylistic means of the age.
