It's a big blow for little Faber when his beloved grandpa emigrates to America. At least he receives a parting gift: a carpet that supposedly can fly! But how do you launch such a magic thing? That's what you'll find out in the story Fabers Schatz (Faber's Treasure) by Cornelia Funke, which can be enjoyed in a family concert for children aged 6 and up. In a staged reading, narrator Rainer Strecker and members of the Berliner Philharmoniker bring the exciting adventure to life - and at the same time explore the question: what is language anyway?
