Organ and Musicians of Bremen

Will the team of donkey, dog, cat, and rooster making music defeat the robbers?

​Last Thursday as part of Children University inciative of Vilnius University 8-11 year-old kids at our church had a chance to experience the organ.

After last years event becore climbing to the organ balcony I told the kids the story of Damned brothers (some of you might remember my improvisation on this legend). I saw how fascinated children are by the stories, especially the scary ones.

So this year I chose to do the event not as a regular organ demonstration but as a storytelling improvisation based on the famous fairy tale of Brothers Grimm "The Musicians of Bremen".

​Not only the listeners listened to the musician being improvised on the spot but also my dramatisation of the story.

Also I asked them to draw the story and the organ. I made a sound recording and took pictures of drawings and made them into a 29 minute movie.

Although the story is being told in Lithuanian, I hope you'll still appreciate the wonderful drawings of the little ones.

​Enjoy!
