In this delightful, wordless performance, three musicians -a trombonist, a clarinettist and a French horn player - use the language of music to explore the world of breath and wind. In this enthralling world every waft turns into a beautiful sound - from a gust through your hair to blowing up a beach ball and even the blast of your dad sneezing!
Whoosh! stimulates skin and hair, eyes and ears, in a perfect introduction to performance and music for little ones aged 1 - 4 years old.
A production of Muziekvoorstelling.nl & Festival 2 Turven Hoog, performed by Alle Hoeken van de Kamermuziek. Directed by Ide van Heiningen and Virág Dezsö (MAPA) and music by Bastiaan Woltjer.
