About
Fun fin Orchestra is an interdisciplinary educational project that covers IT, visual art and music areas. We offer workshops and pedagogical concerts.
Our focus is on using sound-based improvisation as a teaching methodology while making contemporary art forms accessible to non-specialised audiences. This modular project adapts to the needs of each educational institution, cultural venue or hosting space. The audience and the participants take part in a truly authentic, innovative and interdisciplinary learning experience.

Three different Packages
1
In this package we offer interactive IT/Music workshops for student groups (ages 6 to 12).
Our priority is to create a safe and fun space that allows the participants to explore their creativity. The objective of the workshop is to awaken curiosity about sound and its expressive capabilities using musical free improvisation and new technologies as playful tools.
The students will also learn the basics of how to create audio-reactive visuals. They will team up in groups and create small audio-reactive scenes that will be added to the videogame at the final concert. These creations will be played by the participants of the music workshop.
2
This package includes music workshops and a final concert with young talent students.
During the workshops the students will learn about and experiment with free improvisation. They will also dive into the relation of visual arts with sound through interactive videogames. They will play with the main Fun Fin Orchestra videogame as well as with extra educational mini-games created specifically for these workshops.

Fun Fin Orchestra is also a videogame-concert played by professional musicians. This unique audio-visual spectacle helps non specialised audiences to approach and enjoy free improvised music.
This educational concert is a live multimedia piece that uses video games as an expressive medium. The audience will enjoy a real-time videogame performance controlled by improvised live music, and will also actively participate in the artistic creation through sound and physical controllers.
40 students of primary school in Rotterdam joined the Fun Fin Orchestra during 5 days with music workshops and one final concert. They loved the shark game!
