Junior Grachtenfestival: Just Press Play (4+)
Dag van het Grachtenfestival: A musical playground for the whole family
Just Press Play – or: Ready, Set, Music! – is an interactive performance where children don’t just listen to music, but help shape it themselves. In this musical playground, young participants discover that every object can influence the sound: they become the composer, the conductor, and the source of inspiration.
The music is performed live by the adventurous ensemble 'But What About' – versatile musicians from The Hague with a passion for interaction. Since 2020, they have been creating performances where the audience takes center stage – playful, surprising, and full of connection.
