Young audiences have the chance to enjoy a colourful programme of sound installations and music performances in a variety of styles by outstanding local and international musicians.
BIG BANG is not just a music festival for young audiences but also involves them as participants through the NOMAD PROJECT and FESTIVAL AMBASSADOR strands. Some BIG BANG partner organisations also produce new music shows for young audiences.
‘The Ark has been enabled, with the support of Creative Europe, to produce Ireland’s first ever international music festival for young audiences. Our hope is to increase demand from young audiences for vibrant, adventurous music performance programming of the highest quality. Our BIG BANG FESTIVAL is also an incubator for Irish artists and new work. The Ark will create two new music shows for children over the lifetime of the project which we also aim to tour.’Across Borders Across the Board Vol 3 2017–2019
