phil to explore ...with Mozart in Paris

phil to explore ...with delicate flute colors

Today we immerse ourselves in the world of ancient myths. But don't worry! It's not about fear and terror, but about the forest and the fields. A large piece of nature is making its way into the cultural palace - and in the midst of it all: the flute, with which many composers have told wonderful stories. Claude Debussy already wondered: What does a faun experience on an afternoon? And Gabriel Fauré wrote wonderfully melancholic melodies for the flute, which one may have heard somewhere before. But who are the nymph Syrinx and the Pan, who chases after her? Phili wants to know exactly - and Malte surely has the right answers once again.

phil to explore ...with the romantic clarinet

Every instrument has its own color, every instrument has its own character. But which of the many instruments can laugh and cry, sob and rejoice - and thus comes very close to the human voice? Also Phili, our curious Earth girl, has asked herself this and has taken a very close look in the orchestra cellar. She guesses the clarinet. I wonder if that's true? And how do you even play it? And what does this Carl Maria von Weber have to do with it, who spent many years in the summer in Dresden-Hosterwitz? Questions, all questions - to which Malte will surely find good answers.

phil to explore... in the Philharmonic Children's Choir

Anyone can sing - singing together in a choir is not only a lot of fun, but there is so much beautiful music to discover and wonderful friendships are formed along the way. In the Philharmonic Children's Choir, it never gets boring, and because our Earth girl Phili knows that, she will surely come up with some jokes and stir everything up - then Malte will have to bring order back in, otherwise it might sound even worse. But don't worry, choir director Gunter Berger will surely conjure up heavenly sounds with the choir - even Phili will feel like joining in.

phil to explore ...in the vastness of outer space

Infinite expanses. When the nights get longer, it's worth taking a look at the dark sky. In addition to the moon and the many sparkling stars, the planets of our solar system are particularly visible - for example, the powerfully shining Jupiter, the bright Venus, or the red glowing Mars. Even the ancient Romans invented stories about the planets visible to the naked eye. But it was the English composer Gustav Holst who set them to music. And so we embark on a musical journey through the universe. But what about Phili? Is our little Earth girl flying along, or does she have completely different ideas? Stay tuned to find out!

phil to explore ...at the musical fireworks

Today, the Dresden Philharmonic Orchestra is really going to make some noise. Centuries ago, during big celebrations, a proper fireworks display was set off. This was also the case in April 1749, when the British King George II, who hailed from Hanover, organized a grand peace festival. Georg Friedrich Handel composed music for the occasion, which is still popular today because it puts everyone in a good mood. One can only hope that the little Philharmonic Orchestra doesn't get any silly ideas, or does it? Daniel will have a lot to do this morning. But don't worry! The fire department is always present at every concert in the Kulturpalast.
