In the composition workshop of the New Orchestra Basel (NOB), two primary school classes compose their own musical pieces and perform them themselves. The starting point for the compositions are the various rooms in which they are performed, their utilisation, their architectural and acoustic characteristics, their past. The pieces will be performed as part of a guided tour of the Gare du Nord premises with architectural-historical impulses and social perspectives: Old and new stories enter into a dialogue, the hidden is made to resound.
