For the past 20 years, the Philharmonie has stood firm in its belief that music empowers individuals and communities. With its unique ability to foster connections and build bridges, community music can be a force for good in our fragmented societies.
Building upon this commitment, we have partnered with Paper Lantern Collective to design a special participatory project for the 2025/26 season.
Starting in January 2026, we will offer creative workshops open to all. Families with children, young people, adults, senior citizens: anyone and everyone is invited to come together to make music, sing, dance, create and – most importantly – connect.
After a few months of regular gatherings, the project’s finale will take the form of a festive neighbourhood party in June, including music, food and art – a beautiful moment to celebrate the arrival of summer together!
Who can participate?
Everyone! The goal is to bring together people from all backgrounds, ages, and nationalities to share convivial moments together.
