V!BRA – Work­shops with stu­dents of the Ohlen­hof School in Bre­men

2026 be­gins for Los Tem­pera­men­tos with an ex­cit­ing mu­sic ed­u­ca­tion project at the Bremen’s Ohlen­hof Wel­come School.

With V!BRA – Ex­pe­ri­enc­ing Di­ver­si­ty Through Mu­sic, the en­sem­ble will con­duct a se­ries of work­shops in which stu­dents will ex­plore Latin Amer­i­can mu­si­cal tra­di­tions, us­ing Colom­bia as an ex­am­ple.

The project fo­cus­es on di­ver­si­ty, cul­tur­al iden­ti­ty, en­coun­ters, rhythm, and above all, ac­tion! (V!BRA). Mu­sic and tra­di­tion can be ex­pe­ri­enced through live mu­sic-mak­ing, singing, move­ment, and col­lab­o­ra­tive im­pro­vi­sa­tion.

For 17 years, Los Tem­pera­men­tos have been ex­plor­ing the sound­scapes of Latin Amer­i­ca and Eu­rope, con­nect­ing his­tor­i­cal find­ings with liv­ing tra­di­tions and cre­ative mu­si­cal ex­per­i­ments. The mu­si­cians of the en­sem­ble are now bring­ing pre­cise­ly this ap­proach to Bre­men stu­dents with the V!BRA pi­lot project.

The project be­gins in Feb­ru­ary 2026 and will ac­com­pa­ny a to­tal of four class­es over sev­er­al ses­sions un­til May. At the be­gin­ning of May, an in­ten­sive project week will bring chil­dren and all of the por­fes­sion­al mu­si­cians to­geth­er. The fi­nal re­sults will be pre­sent­ed to the en­tire school and the par­ents.

This project is sup­port­ed by “Mu­sic for All!” A sup­port pro­gram for chil­dren and young peo­ple of the BM­CO.
