A Musical Bunch

Musical Symbols

Tone, sound, melody, rhythm – where do they come from? Instrument, voice, orchestra, choir – why do they sound the way they do? What do dots, dashes and flourishes mean? How do you decipher the language of notes and scores? Music is full of mysteries to be explored and riddles to be solved. If you want to take up the challenge and turn into real musical explorers, come to the Warsaw Philharmonic to meet FeNek the Fox. A detective mustn’t overlook even the smallest detail, so in order for you to not only hear but also see the clues left by FeNek, bring binoculars with you. Bring to the concert… small binoculars

A Musical Bunch

FeNek is occasionally visited by a musical gang. So what is it? Well, a gang is a group of people who like and respect each other and are harmonious, not only at concerts. Every meeting brings new musical adventures: together they figure out how to give each other a tune, tap out a rhythm or catch a harmony, while asking each other strange questions. ‘Do tigers eat irises?’ ‘Which is better to have: feathers or quills?’ ‘Who’s the mysterious pumpkin eater?’ As you may have guessed, this is quite a crazy bunch, but they’re also sensitive and attentive to lyrical, romantic sounds... played, for example, on the piano. If you’d like to join the musical gang, come to the concert at the Philharmonic, and don’t forget to bring along... a hand-made drum. Bring to the concert… a hand-made drum

A Clay Vase

Among FeNek’s clutter, there’s an old clay vase. Just an ordinary vase, slightly dusty, a family heirloom... but don’t let that fool you! It’s not ordinary at all. Whenever music is played in the Concert Hall, wavy patterns always appear on it. A long line flashes when violinists draw their bows, tiny dots appear when a pianist’s fingers make a tinkling sound, or a little mouse flits by as a choir sings about it. The patterns and shapes change as quickly as the colourful sounds in the music. If you’re curious to find out what other secrets the clay vase holds, come to the concert at the Philharmonic, and don’t forget to bring a sheet of paper and a colourful marker.

A Music Kaleidoscope

Attention! All music lovers are cordially invited to a great display of virtuosity! A trumpet in one corner, percussion in another, and a piano between them. The viola, often underestimated, will try to reconcile them. Each instrument will showcase its unique capabilities. What do you think – will they perform better solo, or is it worth joining forces and playing as an ensemble? Younger and older listeners will be told about the history and construction of these instruments. We’ll also consider why they sound so dignified, while not shying away from numerous musical embellishments.

The Moon in a Bowl

How about an invitation to the world of fantasy, unusual stories and beautiful sounds? That’s where we’ll take you during a concert featuring songs composed by Grzegorz Turnau. Over the years, this artist has created music for many TV and theatre productions for children and youngsters. The result of that work is the album Moon in a Bowl, which we have turned to in order to invite you to a unique and magical world in which many adventures, crazy journeys and meetings with your favourite book characters await you.

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?

Schneekönigin - das Musical

Note on the Map

Music has the amazing property that it can take us to any corner of the world, without leaving home. FeNek, who has already made thousands of journeys, knows this very well, although he rarely leaves his beloved Philharmonic. Whenever he dreams of a distant voyage, he invites exceptional artists to the stage, who travel to distant countries with every work they perform. And this time will be no different – we will hear Balkan, klezmer, Polish and Spanish rhythms, but not only that... We’ll be whisked away by clarinets, pianos and percussion instruments. If you want to find out where else the music will take us, come to the Philharmonic. And don't forget to bring along... a hand-made rattle. Bring to the concert… a hand-made rattle
