Musicians from the world-renowned «Moscow Virtuosi» orchestra—devoted moms and dads eager for the all-round development and education of their children—have teamed up with scientists from various fields to create a unique series of educational programs that unite science and music. Artists and scientists enthusiastically bring vivid images and musical scenes to life on stage, ensuring an experience that children will never forget.

It may seem that musicians and scientists—physicists, biologists, chemists—have little in common and work in entirely separate worlds. But that’s not the case at all: the chamber musicians of the «Moscow Virtuosi», together with their scientist friends, have invented an entire musical laboratory—a cycle of children’s concerts where they explain and demonstrate the inner workings of music and show how closely it is intertwined with the sciences—physics, mathematics, and geography. Vivid visuals, fascinating stories, and even live scientific experiments on stage will captivate both children and adults, reminding everyone that, although music is deeply connected to science, it is always much more than just that, especially in the hands of one of the world’s best chamber orchestras.

In this «Music Laboratory» program, we will explore the mysterious connection between music and geography. It turns out that music began with the sounds of natural phenomena: the rustling of wind, the whispering of leaves, the trills of birdsong, mountain echoes, the roar of ocean waves, and the whale’s song in the sea—these gifts of nature have always been a source of inspiration for composers and have even guided them in developing various techniques of sound production.

The programme is performed without a conductor.
