Kuc, kuc Kolarac: Muzička radionica za izradu i popravku muzike

Dve letnje muzičke radionice u Obrenovcu uvod su u novi ciklus radionica koji u septembru počinje na Kolarcu. 

Cilj novog ciklusa radionica za decu uzrasta od 5 – 12 godina jeste da se deci približi fenomen zvuka koji se kreira na predmetima koji nisu klasični instrumenti, a od kojih nastaje muzika i na kraju kompozicija, koju sami stvaraju i tako postaju zvanični KV muzičari.
I više od toga. Postaju nova publika Kolarca, oni koji su naučili da i na ovakav način komuniciraju i nauče postupno sve tajne stvaranja muzičkog dela, vrstu i građu muzičkih instrumenata. Ovaj jednosatni program, nakon programa u Obrenovcu nastavlja se od septembra u Kolarčevoj zadužbini, kao redovni program namenjen deci, sa završnim koncertom na kraju ciklusa, koji će biti potpuno novo i drugačije otkrivanje čarolija koje zvuk i muzika mogu da proizvedu u svakodnevnom životu.

23. jula, Obrenovac, u 15 č. u Kasarni i u 18 č. na Gradskom Trgu
24. jula Obrenovac, 12 č.

- od 13 septembra u Kolarčevoj zadužbini

Autor i voditelj radionice je VKV majstor Boki ( Bojan Ivković)
