Tempo (7+)

In music, nothing is more important than the tempo. The beat determines how you experience time. And time seems to be never-ending when you are young and feeling bored. But time disappears like snow in the sun when you are pulled into a special experience. As in Tempo, a performance for a young audience. The members of Oorkaan Ensemble play with your sense of time like true magicians.

When the members of Oorkaan Ensemble are on stage, they are like cogs in a clockwork mechanism. Classical music by Vivaldi and Ravel is played together with music by Martijn Padding, written especially for this performance. In one second, the musicians can put enough music for a whole minute – and vice versa.
