A Carnival of Emotions

Carnival

Charlie finds himself in a dilemma: Lou seems to be distancing themselves more and more, showing less interest in spending time together. In an effort to uplift their spirits, Charlie proposes the idea of arranging an "Emotion Carnival". They ponder which emotions induce laughter, provide the most comfort, evoke fear, or cause overwhelming joy. Together, Lou and Charlie embark on a whimsical journey to explore the depths of emotional power, inviting both young and old to join them on a musical expedition into the realm of feelings. Over the span of two months, 300 second-grade students will collaborate on a composition by Thierry Tidrow, inspired by a libretto penned by Pauline Jacob, under the guidance of vocal instructors. The culmination of their efforts will be showcased in two concerts alongside the Gürzenich Orchestra Cologne. Just like any carnival, attendees are encouraged to embrace various (emotional) disguises. Note regarding the primary school concert: Interested primary school classes must register to attend the performance at koelner-philharmonie.de/education. Classes 1-4 / Duration approx. 1 hour for free To the family concert Presented by KölnMusik in collaboration with the Gürzenich Orchestra Cologne and Philharmonie Luxembourg.

»THE CARNIVAL OF ANIMALS«

The king of the animals, a lion, has taken a little nap after lunch and suspects no harm. But when he wakes up, he is struck by sheer horror. His precious crown has disappeared! Just one day before the grand animal carnival, the most important day of the year when the great ruler wants to be seen by his animal subjects. One thing is certain: the crown must be returned! Juri Tetzlaff has been one of the best-known and most popular faces on children’s television channel KiKA since 1997. He has also been a passionate presenter of concerts for children since 2001. Now he has revitalised a true classic of the genre with a version of his own lyrics. Tetzlaff transforms Camille Saint-Saëns’ »Carnival of Animals« into an exciting detective story, which he himself narrates in his usual exciting style. Enjoy an entertaining hands-on concert with a tricky murder mystery and breathtakingly beautiful music!Costumes are highly welcomed!

The History of a Certain Dance

Kołysz się i tocz! Do you know such a dance? Its funny name sounds like an instruction, and the whole world knows it – it’s rock and roll. This lively dance was born in North America. During our concert, we’ll talk about the energetic music and about the great friendship and passion that unites two friends. They danced rock and roll from an early age, devoting all their free time to practising. Each tournament brought them closer to realising their dream of making their favourite dance their main occupation and the purpose of their life. Are you curious how this story ended?
