Testimonial
"As I watched The Queen’s Cartoonists slip and slide through decades of cartoon music in a matter of minutes, with the animations projected on a large screen behind them, I followed a captivated crowd of young and old consciously connect what they were watching with what they were hearing. The pleasure of the perfect synchrony of sound and pictures was instantly recognizable."

Description
In this fun and educational performance, The Queen’s Cartoonists uplift the importance of music education by uncovering the deep tradition of jazz and classical music in historical cartoons. The ensemble digs into the significance of jazz and classical music, and demonstrates live how iconic melodies can be reimagined and reinvented through genres and media.
Students will watch the musicians perform music and foley sounds with the animations, get a chance to participate in music and sound effect making.
