In cooperation with Druga godba 2021
At first glance, it seems that only the strings, hammers and dampers are hidden under the piano cover. But if you look closely, you will see that some kind of musical fleas are also swarming there. These are backi (pronounced “BAHTS-kee”).
Backi are a colorful group of fairy-tale creatures in love with music who like to tear everything apart and cause trouble. Some are small and hairy, others white and fluffy. If you listen to them carefully, they’ll tell you stories about their antics: wandering through a magical forest where they meet an evil dwarf, or deep into the sea where a fish lives with combs in its mouth instead of teeth. In the evening, all the backis head to the owl pub, where they order tea, snake venom and more until morning. Some of them start fighting on the doorstep, but most of them arrive home safely on all fours.
Backi iz klavirja was created to offer a new kind of concert experience for children. It is a collaboration between the Druga Godba festival, who initiated the project, and producer Vodnik Farms, who are always looking for new ways to bring quality literature closer to a diverse audience. The concert is based on selected Slovenian children’s poetry by well-known and lesserknown authors.
