SUPERMUSIK
“What, you don’t know this song? Everyone knows it!” But which music does everyone really know?
Six musicians from the Bridges Kammerorchester bring their own favourite songs from different regions and cultures to the Casals Forum. With tama, djembe, kamancheh, bağlama, bandura, flute, double bass, guitar and voice, they create a colourful musical journey around the world.
And the audience does not simply stay in its seats: everyone is invited to sing along, help shape the music and even influence the way it unfolds. Familiar melodies meet unexpected discoveries – revealing that a global hit does not have to be the same everywhere.
„Supermusik“ is a lively family concert about curiosity, togetherness and the joy of opening our ears to unfamiliar sounds. For children aged six to eleven – and for everyone who loves experiencing music with an open mind.

Programme
“What? You don’t know that song? Everyone knows it!” – Who hasn’t heard that before?
They exist everywhere: world hits that supposedly everyone knows. Dere Geliyor Dere, Scarborough Fair, Mastom Mastom or Danzi — melodies that linger in your ears for a long time. But when you listen more closely, you may discover that one or another of these world hits is surprisingly unfamiliar.
Six musicians from the Bridges Chamber Orchestra have reinterpreted their favourite pieces for an interactive family concert. Together with the audience, they journey through an impressive playlist of global-local world hits and explore what connects all this music — in other words, what makes music truly super.
On this journey through their playlist, there is not only plenty to listen to, but also moments to join in, sing along, and for some children even to change the music — because, after all, world hits belong to no one and to all of us at the same time!
