TERO AND ERNO SHOW
Rock classics and Classical hits (in Finnish)
The concert is recommended for ages 6 to 120. Duration of the concert 35 min.
Have you ever wondered what you can play on the recorder? The recorder quartet Bravade’s new and hilarious performance is a tv-show hosted by the dyed-in-the-wool heavy rock brothers Tero and Erno are joined by classical-music specialists, the recorder virtuosi Duo KlaSarit. Genre boundaries come crashing down as classical hits and rock classics collide together! This selection of hits features everything from Tchaikovsky's Dance of the Swans to Led Zeppelin's Stairway to Heaven and Paranoid, not forgetting Smetana's Vltava, Mozart's greatest hits and Toto's Africa. Listeners will also get to hear the virtuosic guitar solo from AC/DC's Thunderstruck - on the recorder, of course!
This semi-staged concert has been scripted by Elina Lajunen with musical arrangements
by Hanna Paatelma.
