Part of the Familljefestival «Halloween» on -
The battle cry of little witches, ghosts, vampires, elves… rings out at the Philharmonie. For an entire weekend, the Familljefestival «Halloween» transforms the concert hall into a gigantic dancefloor for witches and their friends – with plenty of different projects and offerings in all the halls, inviting the whole family to listen and join in. Come and enjoy funny and scary stories and lots of creative stations where you can sing, play, craft, and so much more!

An eerily beautiful orchestral adventure

Just before Halloween, André has a job to do: he has to find the best place for a really spooky Halloween party! To do this, he needs expert Halloween knowledge, a scary atmosphere, room for weird dancing witches, pumpkins and party ghosts, and plenty of eerily beautiful music. Dress up as spookily as you can and get set for a Halloween journey through lost ruins, a deserted swimming pool and an old cemetery.
