Kinderkonzert

Wer wünscht sich nicht manchmal eine Zauberinsel, wo man neue Abenteuer erleben und den Alltag vergessen kann? Die Musiker der preisgekrönten Capella de la Torre schaffen mit ihren historischen Instrumenten ein musikalisches Eiland für die großen und kleinen Besucher der Kölner Philharmonie.Eine einsame Insel mitten im Meer, ein geheimnisvoller Wald oder ein bedrohlich aufziehendes Gewitter – all dies lässt sich mit Hilfe alter Instrumente wie Schalmei, Pommer und Dulzian akustisch darstellen. Das Ensemble Capella de la Torre spürt Klängen aus Renaissance und Barock nach, inspiriert von Shakespeares Drama »Der Sturm«. Katharina Bäuml sorgt mit ihrem Ensemble für musikalische Abenteuerstimmung, und die Berliner Schauspielerin Silvia Juliane Reichert, bekannt aus Film und Fernsehen, führt spielerisch durch das Programm. In Kooperation mit den Internationalen Händel-Festspielen Göttingen

Peter und der Wolf

April, April, der macht, was er will

Hexe Kleinlaut can't decide what to wear due to April's unpredictable weather, ranging from rain and sunshine to hail and snow. Her friend Crizzy decides to wear everything, just in case! April offers lots of fun: jumping in puddles, observing rainbows, watching flowers grow, maybe even building a snowman, or enjoying a park walk if it's sunny.

"Saitenspiele"

Numerous strings, short and thin, long and thick, adorn the harp. How does one play the right string? Today, our harp sounds strange, perhaps ill and out of tune. Together, we'll heal it, as the grand piano just visited the instrument doctor. He'll help us create healthy, refreshing music.

Émile fait la musique

Since 2015, the adventures of the facetious Émile, by author Vincent Cuvellier and illustrator Ronan Badel, also exist as a musical tale. Orchestrated by Marc-Olivier Dupin, this colourful show is performed by Guillaume Marquet.

"Tausendundeine Nacht"

A Persian sultan, enraged by his unfaithful wife, murders a young woman every morning. A clever princess aims to end this terror through storytelling. This frame story from "One Thousand and One Nights" inspired Rimsky-Korsakov's "Scheherazade." A solo violin portrays the princess, while the orchestra depicts her stories of storms, caravans, feasts, and flying carpets.

Familienkonzert: Von Klängen und Tänzen

The Sounds of Air

The spring wind rustles in the trees, sings merrily in birdsong, chases the clouds away, turns somersaults, fills the fields and meadows with sound... This concert will be filled with music conjured up by wind instruments: the singing flute, the mysterious clarinet, the lyrical oboe, the playful bassoon, the gentle horn and energetic percussion. We’ll blow notes, dance in rhythms, visit the court of a Chinese empress and listen to raindrops falling. Who is curious to know whether the sounds of the air are light as a feather or heavy as a storm? Who wants to find out how to conjure music from the air and look for spring in it?

Springtime Singing

Walking barefoot, enjoying the sun, playing outside in the evening ... not yet. Not quite yet. But very soon. Winter really will soon be over at the beginning of April. Let's see if we can speed things up a bit with the right music. The small chorus of the children's chorus and the generational chorus invite you to a spring sing-along in the foyer, where everyone will have the opportunity to sing along.

Family Concert: Cinderella (6+, Dutch spoken)

Breathtaking music and stories that challenge children to listen, to look, to sing and to participate.
