On Valentine’s Day, O!Blox broke the “hush-hush” rules of classical music for Hong Kong’s (Asia’s!) first baby Schubertiade. It was more a liedermorgen than a liederabend, but it had all the sparkle and coziness of a 19th century salon…albeit with much younger participants.

Music is a universal language, and babies are the most honest critics we have. Watching them respond to the rhythm in such a nurturing, relaxed environment felt like exactly how such music was meant to be shared. 🌹
