Family Concert · Beethoven for Kids

This family concert invites children and adults on a playful and touching journey of discovery into the life of Ludwig van Beethoven. The famous composer, who revolutionized the world of music despite progressive deafness, is presented in a humorous and age-appropriate way – with his dreams, struggles, and the timeless power of his music. A special highlight is the "Ode to Joy," whose melody still stands today as an anthem for freedom and unity.

Performers such as Frederic Böhle and Torsten Hermentin portray Beethoven, while the housekeeper Nany (Katharina Gudmundsson) and young talents like the piano student Laurin Marinello or the violin student Chiara Sannicandro bring the story to life. Under the direction of conductor Elisabeth Fuchs, the Salzburg Philharmonic performs works that connect generations. A concert that not only entertains but also makes the universal language of music tangible.
