Nomad is a fixed part of every BIG BANG Festival. It is an invitation for a professional musician to make a performance or concert together with a group of children for which the festival offers a stage.
Sound painting is a sign language of more than 1500 characters invented by the New Yorker Walter Thompson. You can also see sound painting as a way of conducting in which you can direct musicians of all levels and types. As a 'sound painter' you paint with sounds, as it were, and you mould the reactions of your players instantly into a unique composition. In this NOMAD show soundpainting reaches a new level as Ceren Oran and/or Milly Groz paints with a group of local youngsters.

In Lisbon, the young participants of the Orquestra dos Navegadores will join the Jopianos musicians of the Portuguese Youth Orchestra for an unmissable concert.
