HeartBeat Group is three professional and enthusiastic percussion experts playing live music on anything! Bringing an irresistible infusion of joy and life to reach the shared goal: To enrich, touch and delight the audience. HeartBeat Group has played for more than 100.000 children and every single concert has been a unique experience. Children are an honest, vibrant, and spontaneous audience and it is magical to be allowed to perform for the next generation.
The school concert ‘Heartbeat’ is one of the most coveted and successful school concerts in Denmark. It has been created in corporation with a producer from the Danish organization, LMS ‘Live Music in Schools’. It has been performed, renewed, and improved through more than 700 performances in Denmark and abroad.
With a heart-warming and contagious enthusiasm HeartBeat Group invites the children into their fascinating universe of rhythms, joy of playing and nonverbal stories. It is an eye opening and inspiring concert experience: Different grooves are created on tables and barrels, crisp cans are used as shakers and mini drums, canisters are being used as percussion, instruments are presented vocally, and the body is used as a drum set.
Our performance is a diverse experience mixing stomp music with singing, rapping, and stories communicated wordlessly. Rhythms from all over the world and a razor-sharp sense of timing are the foundation from which small stories from everyday life are told. We use drama, body language, and humour to touch on topics such as bullying, competition, conflicts, solidarity, and friendship. Themes that children can recognize and see themselves reflected in.
