The Children’s Saturday opening concert features old and new songs from the group Orffit, drawing inspiration from the experiences of young and slightly older people. The concert is built around semi-wild stories, a strong presence, and versatile compositions. Some have observed that the music of Orffit will even cure a lack of humour! Having visited hundreds of schools and day care centres over the years, the ensemble maintains a quicksilver-like enthusiasm for their mission. Although they may not be quite certain themselves what that mission is, it is likely something to do with joy, hope, diversity, and being empowered by music.
