Musikalesch Aventuren (LU, 4–8 Joer)
Musek ass eng genial Geschichtenerzielerin. Si ka Gefiller an Handlunge beschreiwen. Si ka Landschaften entstoen, Schlässer bauen a Blumme wuesse loossen an awer och Stierm provozéieren, Mënsche verzauberen oder einfach erschrecken. Si kann esou kléngen ewéi en Iesel oder esou, wéi wann een am Bauch vun engem Walfësch wier… E richtegt musikalesch Märchebuch ass den Zyklus «Musikalesch Aventuren», an dem nieft der Sprooch vun der Klangkonscht och dat Lëtzebuergescht zu Éieren kënnt. _________________ Music is a genius at story-telling. It can describe feelings and actions. It can conjure up landscapes, build castles, make flowers grow, unleash storms, enchant people or frighten them. It can sound as if there were a donkey in the room, or as if we were inside the belly of a whale… The series «Musikalesch Aventuren» is a veritable musical book of fairy-tales, paying homage not only to the idiom of music, but also to the Luxembourgish language.
Philou (FR, 5-9 ans)
A children’s opera based on a Scandinavian saga about courage and the readiness to make sacrifices, a musical-acrobatic suite including poetry and clowning, and finally a percussion show by Quatuor Beat: «Philou (FR)» presents five enchanting ways for people aged five to nine and their accompanying adults to conquer very different sound worlds and experience fascinating adventures – in French or entirely without words.
Philou (DE, 5-9 Jahre)
A Japanese fairy-tale about friendship and helpfulness; music one wouldn’t ordinarily expect from recorders; an expedition into the world of percussion; theatre works and concert music. Groovy or poetic; turbulent or pensive: «Philou (DE)» offers six enchanting ways for people aged five to nine and their accompanying adults to conquer very different sound worlds and experience fascinating adventures – in German or entirely without words.
Miouzik (FR, 9–12 ans)
A fairy-tale about actual fairies, a winter concert by young people for young people, a musical-theatre whodunit, unicorns and a trip to Paris in the crazy 1920s: presentations tailored to children aged 9 to 12, presented in French or entirely without words: that’s «Miouzik (FR)».
Miouzik (DE, 9–12 Jahre)
Music in very different formats – but always gripping, energising and tailored to children aged 9 to 12, in German or entirely without words. Whether a concert in its classical form, musical theatre or a stage show by young people for young people, «Miouzik (DE)» holds plenty of surprises – such as the world premiere of a brand-new musical theatre piece based on Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol – an evergreen to this day.
Familles (DE, 6-106 Jahre)
Whether magical or interstellar, fairy-tale or winter wonderland, surprises are guaranteed: the Luxembourg Philharmonic summons the full palette of colours of a large symphony orchestra to keep discovering new musical worlds– whether it’s the world premiere of the children’s opera Peter Pan, a symphonic voyage to the planets, the impressive live accompaniment of the animated film The Snowman or the music and dance performance Cinderella.
