Martina Walther and the Ensemble Recherche: Alberta’s Wish Shop—Picture Book Concerts with a Wind Trio (ages 4 and up, Lirum Larum Reading Festival)
What does a rainy morning in a bustling city sound like? What does a hat that makes you feel good sound like? Or a giraffe-shaped carafe? And what rhythm does happiness have? With a cheerful ring of the doorbell, the world of Alberta Brocante and her Wish Shop opens up, presented on a grand scale in the world’s largest Kamishibai. On the stage of the Literaturhaus, musicians from Ensemble Recherche and artist Martina Walther combine images, sounds, and words into a melodious spectacle for all the senses.
Welcome to our picture book concerts, designed for the Literaturhaus’s youngest audience!
