National Concert Hall takes part in the 'Light it up blue' campaign
for World Autism Awareness Day 2011
Greetings from The National Concert Hall!
My name is Renaud and I work in the Education Department.
On Saturday 21 January we are hosting a special event called Ama-Zone: for Children with Autistic Spectrum Conditions. This is a multi-sensory installation specially created by sound artist Slavek Kwi. There will be three sessions of this event, at 10:30am, 11:45am and 1:30pm.
This event has already been hosted in the National Concert Hall, and the feedback has always been extremely positive, whether it came from the parents or the children.
We hope it may be of interest to you or to your members, and would be grateful if you would help us spread the word.
All the details of the event below, and are also available on our website . I would personally be very happy to provide you with any complementary information that you may need.
Best regards,
Renaud Hutin.

- With Slavek Kwi and Learn & Explore musicians
Ama-zone is a multi-sensory installation created by sound artist Slavek Kwi.
Slavek will transform the John Field Room into a magical rainforest, where you can wander freely and explore a variety of sights, feelings and sounds. Follow the sound-journey of a little wooden canoe floating between trees in flooded rainforest, through Slavek’s own recordings from the remote Xixuau Xiparina reserve on Rio Jauaperi, off the Rio Negro in the Brazilian state of Amazonas.
Gentle interludes of classical music will add even more wonder to the experience.
Visitors to Ama-zone are asked to be present for the start of the session, for a brief welcome and introduction, but then may wander in and out as they please.
