Levende Musik i Skolen rounds up a successful Musik i Tide Showcase 2016.
One packed day of professional input, network and lots of great music. 300 local children came to experience the concerts, 150 contact teachers, culture workers and producers from in and outside Denmark, and nearly 100 KulturCrew (Danish Students as Organisers) students who either hosted the concerts/worked behind the scenes, or came to select concerts for their schools in the 2016/2017 season.
Get a glimpse from the eventful day below.

Visiting Chinese musicians at the Royal Danish Conservatory of Music (who will tour Danish schools for LMS in the spring 2017) gave a delightful taste of traditional Chinese instruments. Afterwards, the guests had opportunity to try the Chinese strings. Photo: Christian Brandt

It takes something to captivate an audience after eight hours of non-stop concerts, networking and presenting, yet Wenzell and Bugge effortlessly worked magic. A fantastic end to a fantastic showcase! Photo: Christian Brandt
