Big Bang Festival is an adventurous European music festival for young audiences. The goal of the festival is to increase children's access to music and free access to all events. The music festival was founded in 2010 by six European partners.
Children's Culture Festival in Reykjavík was invited to participate in the project in 2019. The first Big Bang festival was held in Harpa last year in a packed house. The festival will be held again in Harpa in 2024.
At the festival, special emphasis is placed on bringing together musicians and composers who see the adventure in their musical creations and want to look for fruitful ways to enable all children to attend concerts and have a rich and memorable experience there. We are also looking for cooperation with parties in the cultural sector who are striving to reach new audiences.
Barnamenningarhátíð í Reykjavík var boðin þátttaka í verkefninu árið 2019. Fyrsta Big Bang hátíðin var haldin í Hörpu í hitt í fyrra fyrir troðfullu húsi. Hátíðin verður aftur haldin í Hörpu 25. apríl 2024 kl. 11–16.
Á hátíðinni er lögð sérstök áhersla á að fá til leiks tónlistarfólk og tónskáld sem sjá ævintýrið í tónlistarsköpun sinni og vilja leita frjórra leiða til að gera öllum börnum kleift að sækja tónleika og eiga þar ríkulega og eftirminnilega reynslu. Einnig er leitað eftir samstarfi við aðila innan menningargeirans sem leggja kapp á að ná til nýrra áhorfenda.
