Some kinds of music are inherently age-inclusive. KidsAcoustic presents real music that parents can enjoy for its own sake, while the lively tunes and wonderful instruments draw kids in naturally.
For each concert, teacher and early string performer Shulamit Kleinerman joins forces with a duo partner from a folk or early music tradition. A personable forty-five minute program is followed by a hands-on opportunity for all the kids to try out our menagerie of instruments.
How better to wrap up the KidsAcoustic year than with a chance for everyone to sing? Attenders earlier in the season may have already enjoyed some singalong numbers. For the final concert, soprano Emily Nelson will share her mesmerizing soprano voice in a danceable set of songs from medieval troubadours, renaissance songbooks, and living folk traditions, interspersed with rounds, refrains, and harmonies for everyone. Shula brings her violin, vielle, and viola da gamba for everyone to hear and have the opportunity to try. Whether you’re an avid singer or a timid one, and whether your kids are old enough to sing or not, please come share the music with us!
Shulamit Kleinerman first added family house concerts to her offerings for children in 2007, and the audience quickly outgrew her teaching studio. The new space at Empty Sea is still welcoming, relaxed, and intimate enough for kids to scootch right upto the musicians’ feet… but now there’s also room to dance! Shula is passionate about bringing the arts of earlier ages alive for kids. From Mozart operas to baroque minuets to Shakespeare skits to medieval songs, her historical arts workshops connect kids with the sparkle of the past. More information about her performances and classes for kids and adults can be found at shulamitk.net.
