Created by the UK’s premiere experimental music festival, Supersonic Kids Gigs are designed for families as a way of introducing children to experimental music – BIG sounds for little people!
Expect a live set by Matana Roberts, an internationally celebrated composer, performer, band leader, saxophonist, sound experimentalist, and mixed-media practitioner. They will create a tapestry of sounds from field recordings, loop and effects pedals, and spoken word recitations, alongside their saxophone and singing voices.
A self-taught composer, the Chicago-raised and New York City-based Roberts earned two degrees in performance from a smattering of American institutions but received their main training from free arts programs in the American Public School System. This will be a truly joyous and interactive session of singing, clapping, and stomping!
Hosted by artist/musician and all-round comedy genius Ben Sadler (of Juneau Projects).
“I love the depth of the performances, and the willingness to show kids exciting and beautiful music without worrying about it being over explained. A hit for the kids and parents for sure. The show was expertly hosted with infectious enthusiasm and timing.”
