School Classes Concert: On the Sea - A Musical Expedition Concert

Immerse yourself in the wonder of the ocean with **“School Classes Concert: On the Sea – A Musical Expedition Concert”**. Under the baton of conductor Vitali Alekseenok and guided by presenter Sebastian Radon, audiences aged 10 and up will dive beneath the surface, discovering how the symphonic currents of the sea shape the music around us. The program is a vibrant mosaic of sonic journeys— from the haunting drama of Edvard Grieg’s *Peer Gynt* incidental music and Maria Huld Markan Sigfúsdóttir’s “Oceans” to Lin‑Manuel Miranda’s rousing “How far I’ll go” from the *Vaiana* soundtrack. Traditional sea shanties—including the evocative “Wellerman Song” and the raucous “What Shall We Do with the Drunken Sailor” (adapted by Norman Tailor)—are interwoven with masterworks like Nikolai Rimsky‑Korsakov’s “Scheherazade” (first movement, “The Sea and Sinbad’s Ship”), John Williams’ iconic *Jaws* suite, and Alan Menken’s “Under the Sea” from *The Little Mermaid* (Matt Smith adaptation). The concert also showcases Claude Debussy’s “Petite Suite” orchestrated by Henri Büsser with its opening “En bateau” movement, and a dynamic Klaus Badelt medley from *Pirates of the Caribbean* (arranged by Ted Ricketts). Embark on this musical odyssey that celebrates the sea’s power and beauty—discover the soundtrack of the waters through the eyes of composers from different eras and genres.
