Description:

What is the secret behind the Raimonds Pauls phenomenon? In this interactive concert-story, the musical trio - Mārtiņš Kanters, Māris Vitkus, and Edijs Šimiņš - will invite students to decipher the “Maestro code.” Through the most famous R. Pauls hits, theater music, and instrumental pieces, we will discover how a melody that gets stuck in your head is created, how poetry turns into a song, and how to tell an entire drama in three minutes.

Using multimedia, clever interactive elements, and joint music-making, the musicians together with the students explore the composer’s unique style and the structure of music in an engaging and participatory way, turning the concert from passive listening into an active process of discovery, in which every student feels involved in deciphering “Paul’s code.”
