This ↗︎ was yesterday.  Emma has discovered binge reading.

Today, Sammy is a very grumpy teenager and just said: "Are people trying to be mean to me by being happy?"

Videos for the Staatstheater Projekt

 

The kids have been working on their requiem project for the opera house here in Darmstadt.  Sam is part of group of some students composing for the opera orchestra and chorus while Emma is part of a small choreography team.  We're not sure if it will actually be happening in May with so much uncertainty still around public events but the opera house is hoping to still go forward with it and is asking all of the students working on it to make small videos about their work since meetings are obviously canceled for the time being. 

So this is a video of Sam explaining (in German) how he is working on mashing up Verdi, Berlioz and Mozart:
