Anything is possible in the world of music
's School Performance:Can You Hear Me?
Mijs is very headstrong, a little chaotic, and has a huge heart. But she’s not doing well. Things are tough at home, and at school, everyone thinks she’s stupid. But even worse: her mother has passed away. Mijs feels lonely and sad, all alone. But just as Mijs gets so angry that she wants to run away, something special happens. A mysterious woman appears and takes Mijs into the world of music.
In*Can You Hear Me?*, Mijs learns that everyone is different, just as every instrument sounds different, but that, like an orchestra, we are all connected. The four stories told by the mysterious woman guide Mijs through different groups of instruments. The orchestra alternates between soft, subdued passages and cheerful, exuberant sounds. In this way, she discovers how instruments can express emotions and tell stories.Can You Hear Me?invites you to listen closely, think along, and feel along, and shows that music is a world of its own where anything is possible.
