16 strings, 8 dancing feet and 4 voices with 1 aim: to shake the dust off Classical music and enable kids to enjoy and develop their own musicality with fantastic flair, finesse and frivolity. Graffiti Classics bursts the boundaries of the traditional String Quartet, making classical music fun for youngsters with its scintillating slap-stick, brilliant arrangements and mischievous humour. 

Graffiti has already toured its brilliantly educational and high-energy workshop to schools throughout the UK, Ireland, Spain, Singapore, Malaysia, Vietnam and Norway. The group participates in Yehudi Menuhin's 'Live Music Now' Scheme and has also performed at many Children's Theatres and Festivals. 

All Graffiti's players are highly-skilled workshop leaders, drawing from the best of both aural and visual worlds, creating an unforgettable and educational experience for children of all ages and abilities. A truly interactive show where the children simply can't resist joining in with singing, dancing, and making music. Getting involved is what it's all about, with the children being given opportunities to conduct, get up close and even play the instruments. 

Featuring two violins, a viola and unusually, a double-bass, Graffiti's virtuosic players adapt the workshop to the specific needs of each group of children.

All workshops are tailored around the National Curriculum's music syllabus. Children will leave our performances having learnt about:

The String Family

• Musical Terms
• Dynamics
• Time Signatures
• Rhythmic Clapping
• Each individual instrument and it's attributes
• Composers and Musical Styles
• Colours and Textures in the music

Separate performances to different age groups are offered within the same school on the same day. Graffiti Classics can perform to up to 250 children in 1 workshop and offer up to 4 workshops a day.

Best of all, the expense and hassle of transporting the children to an outside venue is non-existent as Graffiti Classics comes to you. Plus, at the end of the day, the whole school can enjoy an exclusive performance of Graffiti’s virtuosic show. The group also released an educational CD with Naxos to great critical acclaim.Buy Now.
