educational concerts
Since 1981 percussionists Ad Gobbens and Ruud Wiener have played every year school concerts in Holland. Several schools invited the duo more than twenty times already. The concept has been updated through the years, and it has grown into a multi-media program including not only several styles in music, but also latest techniques from electronical music instruments.
Besides this the concertprogram is supported by a computer presentation.
