Fee, fi, fiddle, fum ⬩ The Little Rudolfinum

Programme

How many strings are there on a violin? What do you use to play a violin? And how many animals can you count on a violin? Where is the bridge? And the neck? And the mute? And does it hurt your ears if someone is playing the violin right beside you? And where does a violin sleep? This is all very easy to learn, especially with the violinist Jitka Kokšová. And maybe we’ll even get to visit a violin doctor!

In this workshop, we first have a look at a violin maker’s workshop, then we go into the salon for a presentation combined with an interactive demonstration, where we learn lots of basic information and curiosities about the violin. A few short pieces for violin are heard.
