Orchestra concert for kids


Earth, Metal, Wood, Fire, and Water - the fundamental forces of nature are constantly changing and interacting with each other. How do these 5 elements sound in music? With works such as Beethoven's "Pastoral" Symphony No. 6 or Manuel de Falla's "Fire Dance", presenter Martina Menichetti and the Philharmonie, as part of the festival for young audiences on the theme of "Nature," invite you to discover the interactions between humans and the environment. Moreover, in a workshop with composer Rachel Leach, a class of school children created their own sounds to match the "Wood" element, and will perform their creation on stage together the Orchestre Philharmonique du Luxembourg.
