Dr. Kay & His Intergalactic Tone Scientists are on a quest for pure musical joy, a joy they want to share with everyone in the universe!

They can even play music from the future. The band consists of prominent Norwegian jazz musicians. The children get to join in the dancing and are invited to conduct the band. During the performance, a saxophone-playing hippo might appear!

Join us in a world of sounds! What makes us make sound, and how can we create music together, in the present? Sigrid Strand Stiberg has a bachelor's degree in musicology from the University of Oslo, and has sung in the vocal ensemble Oslo 14 for several years. From our tent in Barnivalparken, we travel to the world's big cities and recreate the sounds we find there. Maybe we can create our very own musical country?
