¡Viva la Pepa! offers educational programs for elementary, middle and high schools, that give children the opportunity to listen to medieval, renaissance and traditional music from Spain and France.

¡Viva la Pepa!’s educational programs are interactive, so children are encouraged to participate and discover how some “very strange” instruments work. Children have the opportunity to see and hear unusual musical instruments, some of which originate in the middle ages, such us the hurdy-gurdy, psaltery, bagpipe, tromba marina, etc. More modern instruments, like the guitar and accordion make for irresistible fun in ¡Viva la Pepa!’s shows.

Our educational programs run for 45 minutes, taking children on a musical tour of 13th century Cantigas to contemporary village celebration music from Spain and France, to Sephardic oral traditional songs.
