At this Montreal school, big sounds come in small packages
The design for La Musique Aux Enfants began with one key question: “How can we make a basement sound more like a concert hall?” said Willem Boning, an acoustic consultant with Arup. The brainchild of Orchestre Symphonique de Montréal director Kent Nagano, the Musique Aux Enfants program is a collaborative initiative by the orchestra, the Université de Montréal, and the Commission scolaire de la Pointe-de-l’Île to teach roughly 180 pre-K and kindergarten students choral, piano, and violin music.
