Programmes for Kindergartens
Music already plays an important role in early childhood and acts as a connecting and culture-forming medium. The programme designed for kindergartens invites children to enjoy aesthetic experiences, to become active themselves and to enjoy live music. Chamber ensembles of the orchestra visit kindergartens in the city and play concerts where children can participate, instruments are presented and, of course, classical music is performed. During a Zwergenprobe-visit to the Kölner Philharmonie, preschool groups have the opportunity to listen to a rehearsal of the orchestra and have the great hall of the Philharmonie all to themselves.
Das Orchester war sehr schön und laut und es war ultra toll für mich!
Linus, 5 JahreConcerts Out and About
Five ensembles of the Gürzenich Orchestra visit kindergartens in Cologne, playing amusing and fascinating concerts that involve the young audience, present various instruments, and of course feature classical music. The concerts are designed for children aged 3 to 6, last approximately 40 minutes and will take place on the dates given in the morning at 9:15 am or at 11 am. All kindergartens in Cologne with a gym or a similarly suitable space can apply.

Preschool Rehearsal
There is plenty to discover in an orchestra: how many musicians are seated on stage? Which instruments can you hear? And what does a concert hall actually look like from the inside? Preschool children can find answers to all these and more during our preschool rehearsal entitled »Zwergenprobe«. Before they observe the orchestra rehearse for about half an hour, the children will be given an age-appropriate introduction by orchestra musicians presenting their own instruments.
