Music connects! With that in mind, the Berliner Philharmoniker every season offers family concerts with programmes specially tailored to both children and their grown-up companions. Important, pioneering or amusing works are entertainingly presented to the attendees. Especially popular is the series “Meet the Orchestra”, which gives the whole family a chance to experience up close selected instrumental sections of the Berliner Philharmoniker and to learn fascinating information about the musicians, their instruments and their lives. These are true journeys through the world of music…
Free kindergarten services will be available druing the family concerts if desired. Recommended for 6 year olds and over.
