Moselle. Young Audience Workshop at Pompidou-Metz: Children Can Create Music from Life
This Pompidou-Metz venue is little-known. The workshop for young audiences (ages 5-10) is located on the first floor at the end of a corridor. Every weekend, children can get hands-on with art. Nationally renowned artists create a theme for each quarter. Cultural mediators lead the sessions. The workshops resume this Saturday, September 13th and Sunday, September 14th, at 11 a.m. and 3 p.m., by reservation via the website (duration: 1 hour 30 minutes).
Welcome to the world of “The Melody of Life,” designed by Nice-based artist Global Industrial Culture.

A plant that plays a synthesizer? A shell that emits sounds by rolling a pearl of water on it? It's possible! "The workshop allows us to translate nature's patterns into music," explains the artist. Sensors are positioned on the plants' leaves, then connected to a computer. The artist, a trained sound designer, will record the children's work in a reflection on the living. "By December, we will have a large musical fresco that will be posted online." The diversity of the material will allow us to reach all ages. "We have rain sticks, wooden objects, percussion instruments, etc." This range of "sound effects" will complement the composition, as well as the use of certain tools such as a magnetic field sensor. "The electricity in our own bodies is used to compose."
This back-to-school workshop is fully in line with the "Copyists" exhibition, which runs until February 2026. The Pompidou-Metz had the delightful idea of asking 100 international artists to "copy" a work from the Louvre with their own eyes. "The 'Melody of Life' workshop fits into the theme of copying, in this case of nature, and the personal interpretation of each child," says Kelem Coll, in charge of young audiences at Pompidou-Metz.
Young audience workshop "The Melody of the Living", every Saturday and Sunday until December , by reservation via the Pompidou-Metz website. 7 euros per child, 1 hour 30 minutes of workshop.
