Music Tells Stories — 1. Hovedbiblioteket, Randers

Free entry

Four Thursday evenings in autumn, musicians from Randers Chamber Orchestra and library musician Peter Elmelund take children on a journey through music history - presented through both words and live music.

This time the theme is "Music from Many Lands". The musicians showcase their instruments and play pieces from different countries - both contemporary and classical - with group singing on the programme.

About: Peter Elmelund

Guitar in hand and the folk high school songbook on the stand, Peter Elmelund has been setting the tone at Randers Library since 2008 - the driving force behind the library's community singing, from bright spring mornings to dark November afternoons.
