»Carnical of the Animals« after Camille Saint-Saëns
Carnival concert for the whole family

Sunday, 23. February 2020, 11.00 Uhr

In the forest, all the animals gather together to have a party. Elephants, monkeys, lions, kangaroos, shimmering shoals of fish, donkeys, chickens, turtles ... they are all there to invite you to the »carnival of the animals«. Now hear the "Ee-ah" of the donkey and now the call of the cuckoo. But what does an aquarium sound like and how does a kangaroo hop musically? Once again, our musicians bring animals great and small to life with their instruments. Lots of furry fun for young and old and animal costumes are encouraged!

»Ta-ta-ta-taa« Who doesn’t know that famous bit at the start of the opening movement of Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony? Hang on, though – who was this Mr. Beethoven? It’s his 250th birthday, and he was one of the most important composers in the history of music –so we’re focusing on him in this anniversary year, including at our school and family concerts, when we’ll take everyone, young and old, on another journey of musical discovery – all aboard for a »fateful« concert experience!

Cushion Concerts

»Cushion-Concerts« are music for the little ones: familiar tunes and songs, playfully performed by a small group from the Bamberg Symphony, which will have them rapt and singing along. The youngest concert-goers get right up close to our players and hear stories told in music and words. It’s a child-friendly introduction to classical music for the next generation, and a cosy way to experience the same thrill we grown-ups feel all over again at every evening concert: the fascination of music!

Tickets € 5,00 (concessions) / € 10,00 (full price)
